Re: needing pts's enabled to telnet INTO an RT:

We have pts0-3 autoenabled, and #'s 4-8 NOT autoenabled and starting 2
days ago we could have 8 telnets logged in at once (Okay, I only did 6,
but close enough, huh?). 

The thing we changed 2 days ago was the number of processes able to run
on the machine at a time.  In /etc/master the limit was set at 60!  Ugh!
When we boot, all the daemons, etc. total ~40 processes before anyone
is logged in!  Noticing the warning limit is 350, I upped the total to
150 (after that I expect the machine to be VERY slow) and left the
per-user process limit at 100.

Is 'procs = 60' really the default for an RT?

Perhaps this will help you use more pts's.

May all you programs compile on the first attempt.
