Loss of ptys

2008-03-18 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm running an Ubuntu Hardy (alpha 6) system, and something has happened - I apparently can't open ptys anymore. Note that it was working until yesterday. When I attempt to open a new terminal from within X (regardless of window manager) I get a message about being unable to open a pty. I've

That is a good idea. However, right now it is a pain to add the extra NICs to the nodes in question. I'll keep it in mind, though. Regards, Bruce -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin D. Clark Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 9:14 AM
