Hi, I have been trying to working out how to create additional pseudo- terminal devices in pts. Currently there are 9 device file in /dev/pts numbered between 1 - 12. I need to ensure that I can have about 40 users attach to the system using xterminals. I have tried MAKEDEV but nothing happens. The man pages for pts doesn't say how to make any new devices, only that a pty are opened when a process opens /dev/ptmx. Does anyone know who I can create new character files in /dev/pts? TIA.
