You're looking at the wrong thing. Your problem is that you haven't configured the kernel for enough ptys. In /sys/i386/conf/FOOBAR, you should have a line like: pseudo-device pty 4 Change the `4' to whatever number of ptys you want available. For 20 real users, I would suggest 32. > Anyone else having these problems? !I > BTW: Anyone have a working sendmail.cf file for internet access? The sendmail sources come with some examples and a simplified configuration mechanism using m4. -- \ / Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu /\ \ PGP public key available on request.
