Recently I recompiled kernel to support 64 ptty devices. Unfortunately after I have 38 connections simultaneously I get 'cannot fork' message on the execution of any program on the 39th telnet session. Does it mean that system can't support more than 38 remote connected users at the same time. Or may be because I logged in as myself all of the times I have used allowed number of processes to the max. Please give me a clue. Thank you in advance. Alex alitvak@shrike.depaul.edu
