Sparc10/30 - to few windows

2007-12-25 8:02:00

Well, it wasn't that complicated... the simple answer was that there were to

few /dev/pty's and /dev/win's. Running MAKEDEV with the full set of both pty (0-15)

and win (0-3) enabeled to users to have several more windows opened at the same time.

A little bit confusing was the entry in /sys/sun4m/conf/SDST which already had

the value of 256 for both pty and win. Especially as the MAKEDEV script says:

"# win* (up to) 128 windows"
