Hello ,
Sincere thanks to Bruce Hines & Johan Brusche for
the solution.
Problem :
On a DS20 with Tru64 V4.0F, whenever the number of
users logging in
via telnet exceeded 32, further connections were
refused with the
user getting the message "port not available"/ all
ports in use.
solution:
As per instructions in the man page , i had created
used the
MAKEDEV PTY_1 and MAKEDEV PTY_2 commands to create
additional
ptys for use by the additional users .
The correct method was to create additional ptys
using :
./MAKEDEV pty2 pty3
existing ptys were from ptyp0 to ptypf and ptyq0 to
ptyqf a total of 32 ptys .
MAKEDEV pty2 pty3 created additional 32 devices,
i.e. ptyr0 to ptyrf and ptys0 to ptysf.
In addition to this the maxusers parameter in
/etc/sysconfigtab must
be 128 or 256 .
A simple reboot is reqd after above modifications.
thanks & regards
Dominic
