The answers :

You have to increment the "pseudo-device pty" value in the
/sys/conf/mips/<MACHINE> file and rebuild (and reboot) your kernel. The new
devices you made are not seen by your kernel.

anyway, there are a few things you want to do.

1) more more ptys.
   -- su - root
   -- cd /dev
   -- ./MAKEDEV pty3
   -- ./MAKEDEV pty4
   -- ./MAKEDEV pty5
  
2) recompile the kernel. up maxusers by a lot. (it's not actually a
   measurement of users, but a number used to then calculate various
   resource allocations).

  I have maxusers set to 1024. we typically have 40-60 simultaneous
  users, as well as a bunch of other processes.

3) install the new kernel and reboot


this should solve your problems.

good luck,
Jason

        Try this:

        # cd /dev
        # ./MAKEDEV pty2 (not PTY_2)

It'll work fine.

Bonjour,

Il faut que les ptys soient contigues. Il faut donc faire un
MAKEDEV PTY_1 afin d'avoir la suite des pty0 et pty1 crees a l'install
du systeme.
CF: /dev/MAKEDEV
.
.
PTY_1)
    devlist="$devlist pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3 pty4 pty5 pty6 pty7 pty8 pty9
pty10 pty11 pty12 pty13 pty14 pty15 pty16 pty17 pty18 pty19
pty20 pty21 pty22"
