I have DU4.0B on a Decstation 3000. After I applied the OS patch #6, I
can't open any xterms--nothing happens. If I telnet in and set the
DISPLAY variable, etc, I get the message
xterm: no available ptys
or, for dxterm,
DECterm: Can't open pty!
This happens even for the root user. I can telnet and rlogin in to the
machine just fine. There are no other users logged in. I created some
more /pty?? files with MAKEDEV, and deleted and re-created the existing
ptys, but that didn't help. I installed the patch on a similar machine
and haven't had this problem. Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch.
