Date: 6 Jun 1996 14:25:09 GMT Organization: interQuest Online Services -- Huntsville, AL Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4p6po5$ooe@polo.iquest.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: vespucci.iquest.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I asked this question a while back, but never got any replies. It's been a couple of months, so I figured I'd try again. When lots of users are logged in, and you've used up pty0-ptyf, you get to a point where the "w" and "who" commands won't show the users on ptyg and higher. This isn't a major problem, but it *is* annoying. Is there a patch for this? Or do I have something set up incorrectly? -- Dougal Campbell | "Zathras is used to being beast of burden to Systems Coordinator | other people's needs.
