If i have 16 rxvts open and i try to open another i get joe@gunhed[~]: rxvt rxvt: Can't open pseudo-tty rxvt: aborting joe@gunhed[~]: But an xterm will open fine. I have set the following option in my kernel pseudo-device pty 64 maxusers 64 Plus I have shed loads of unused pty's in the /dev directory, all with the correct permissions.. FYI FreeBSD 2.2.1 64Mb RAM Anyone seen this? know how to fix it?
