Hi all I'm using FreeBSD 7.0. As per FAQ, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html, I tried to increase the number of ptys: "10.19.1 Build and install a new kernel with the line in the configuration file: device pty N where N is the number of requested pseudoterminals." I tried to recompile the kernel. I have modified the GENERIC as follows: device pty 64 # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) This results a compilation error: config: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:268: syntax error *** Error code 1 What is the correct syntax? Kind Regards Unga
iirc pty is totally dynamic in 7 and doesn't require any special tweaks.
Regards
Steve

Do you actually have a problem with insufficient PTYs? -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Ask your system administrator to create more. while executing "spawn ls" It now seems to be a permission problem as explained in http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html#q67 . Still investigating. Any help will be very much appreciated. Unga
