I've searched here, the wiki, and google. All I can find is a www.gossamer-threads.com from 2006 for n770, which had the same limit of 4.

/etc/init.d/af-services has no reference to /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max, neither does /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-services

I would prefer to automatically have a higher limit set at boot time.

Thank you.

/etc/event.d/local contains something like:
Code:
description "local"

start on started xomap

console none

script
  if [ -e /etc/rc.local ] ; then /etc/rc.local ; fi
  echo 12 > /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max
end script

Looks like currently n900 is configured to have only 4 PTYs.

Attempt to open more xterm's or ssh connection causes error messages like "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" (if over ssh) or immediate close of xterm window.

Also, apt-get does not like lack of PTYs and segfaults in that case just before beginning package installation.

Does anybody know how to increase number of available PTYs?
