I just send-pr'ed it. You can also get it from:

Thanks for the info.  Is the external box with the RJ-45 serial ports 
(part # 99420-6) compatible with the Comtrol US card you're about to
send the link for, or would I need to send that back as well?

Does this mean that the US card is not supported by the rp driver that
comes with FreeBSD 6.2, or was that mostly aimed at folks who run an
OS (version) that doesn't include a driver?

Thanks again,
Jeff

How to enable more than 256 pty's?

Is it really a matter of editing:
/usr/src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c

And changing:
static char *names = "pqrsPQRS";

To increase the number of available pty's ( FreeBSD 5.4 ) or is there
a nicer way?

    Regards
    Steve

Re: How to enable more than 256 pty's?

Well looked like that might work but clearly not, should have looked closer.
Is there a way to do this?

Re: How to enable more than 256 pty's?

Any one got any pointers on this, the machine we running this app on is over
90% idle so I really don't want to have to install a second machine just to
workaround a limit on the number of pty's, surely there's a way to increase
this?

    Regards
    Steve

You need to change the way ptys are named in pty_create_slave() and
pty_clone() in sys/kern/tty_pty.c.  Just changing names won't help as
the sequence is also hardcoded in pty_clone().

You also need to change grantpt(), openpty() and any other userland code
which has hardcoded knowledge of the naming scheme:

des <at> ds4 ~% gfs pqrsPQRS
src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c: static char *names = "pqrsPQRS";
src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c:  * pts == /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS][0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv]
src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c:  * ptc == /dev/pty[pqrsPQRS][0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv]
src/contrib/telnet/telnetd/sys_term.c:  for (cp = "pqrsPQRS"; *cp; cp++) {
src/usr.sbin/ac/ac.c:                               strchr("pqrsPQRS", usr.ut_line[3]) != 0 ||
src/lib/libutil/pty.c:  for (cp1 = "pqrsPQRS"; *cp1; cp1++) {
src/lib/libc/stdlib/grantpt.c: #define  PT_DEV1         "pqrsPQRS"

Alternatively, set kern.pts.enable to 1, and find and fix the
hang-on-close bug in the pts code (if it hasn't been fixed already)

This last option is only available if you are running 7-CURRENT though.
The pts code is not in 6-STABLE (or older.)

kib <at>  says it has as of sys/kern/tty_pts.c rev 1.15 (2007-07-03).  Has
your friend tried with a sufficiently recent kernel?

   I can't tell for sure, he tried a week or two ago, with a recent
snapshot. I forwarded him your mail, I hope he'll retry and get back
to me.

If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
