Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: ptys and tty's; and accounting [FreeBSD] Date: 28 Oct 1993 01:51:12 GMT Organization: University of Mississippi, Dept. of Computer Science Lines: 13 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2an8ig$sp6@Tut.MsState.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cy.cs.olemiss.edu I have a couple of questions: [prob. should ask them in comp.unix.xxxxx] 1> How do i turn on accounting in FreeBSD? (what is the 'option' that i have to include in the kernel config?) 2> Currently, my maxusers is set to 24, and so is my pty. But, i can never open more than 16 xterms, or network connections. I figure thats cause of the fact that i currently have only 16 /dev/pty* entries (and 16 /dev/ttyp* entries). How do i let more than 16 people log in simultaneously? do i have to make more devices? (if so, how?)
