Hi,

I've got an Tru64 5.1a system with GNU screen installed.
There's about 90 people logged in to the system, and there's
no problem allocating new terminals to new logins via ssh or
telnet.

However running 'screen' no longer works, and exits with the
message 'No more PTYs - Could not find a PTY'

Does anyone know how to increase the number of PTYs available
to screen? I seem to have plenty of entries under /dev/pts/*
but not sure how pts relates to ttys.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Paul
