How would I go about making avalible more than four connections? If you have information I would be greatful for it :) This is because you only have 4 pseudo-tty's in your kernel. You should edit your kernel config file and change it to some larger number, eg. 16. Then rebuild your kernel. pty's are pretty cheap in NetBSD, so this should not cause you any grief (in 386BSD each one used a horrendous amount of wired memory.) -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@fsa.ca
