MAKEDEV doesn't want to : make any more, and I can't seem to find it in my kernel config file : (maybe I'm blind or something). The default kernel comes with 4 vtys (ttyv[0-3]) builtin. If you want to have more you gotta build a new kernel with the line options "MAXCONS=n" where n is something like 8 or 12 for example.(maximum is 16 but you don't have more than 12 function keys either). Also you need to cd /dev; MAKEDEV vty12 if you want to have more than 4 (default). : Thanks . . . : -- : ^ : _' `_ * Kevin Lo -- http://www.geopages.com/SiliconValley/1070/ : .-~' `~-. - klo@digital.net * FDC Merlin : ( ' __. ` ) * FreeBSD 2.0.5R / DOS * AKA Radnor on most MUSH/MUSEs : `-'' ``-' GCS/MU/Od+H-s!gp?!aua--w++v++C++++HU+P+L3N+++E----KW+M--V---po+ : Y+t+++5--jRG+@tv++b++D++B---e(+)u++h!f+!rn---x? : -- --Chris Christoph P.
