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?)
