SUMMARY: Unable to open pty

Original question: Whenever I try to open a pty (e.g. with a DECterm) on an
AlphaServer 2100 (3.2D) I get an error "DECterm: Can't open pty!" All ptys
and associate ttys exist in /dev, and it happens even when logged in as
root on the console immediately after a restart.

Well not much to summarize. I got one response from John Schaeffer
<jsch_at_conncoll.edu> saying that they too had a similar problem, but
couldn't find the fix. So, this problem continues to remain an unsolved
mystery. The sure way to fix it would be to reinstall DU, of course.

thanks,
kevin
