It seems the kernel has a limit on the Unix98 ptys to 2048. We have a server that needs to have ~3000 telnet sessions running due to tripling capacity. Is there any way to get this many telnet sessions into a linux box? Thanks Bill PS I know the bad parts of using telnet. There has been great care taken to restrict users to a single application and there is only minimal chance of getting any more access from a standard username and password. -- Bill Warner Unix/Linux Admin.
