Only got a few replies to this, Thanks to Warren Sturm with the answer.
Created more ptys with MAKEDEV pty2 pty3, and all is good. Commented out the
tool talk entries in inetd.conf, as I didn't use them anyway.
Here is Warrens email below -
You may need to add more ptys to accept the connects. Take a look in
/dev for ptypn and ptyqn entries. Those should correspond to pty0 and
pty1. You want to add more with /dev/MAKEDEV pty2 pty3. That should
add another 32 ptys.
Tooltalk is used in conjunction with CDE. Unless you need the services,
they should be disabled in /inetd.conf.
for example an extract from out inetd.conf file:
#dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd dtspcd
#rpc.cmsd/2-4 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd rpc.cmsd
#rpc.ttdbserverd stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserverd \
rpc.ttdbserverd
The above line is not actually continued but on a single line.
