- You're looking at the wrong thing. Your problem is that you haven't
- configured the kernel for enough ptys. In /sys/i386/conf/FOOBAR, you
- should have a line like:
-
- pseudo-device pty 4
-
- Change the `4' to whatever number of ptys you want available. For 20
- real users, I would suggest 32.

- The sendmail sources come with some examples and a simplified
- configuration mechanism using m4.
