By default? So, another 62*2 more inodes used in everyone's root filesystem? No, I think you should run MAKEDEV yourself for your own needs, and not assume everyone needs to commit those resources. That makes very small OpenBSD machines too tight. There's a reason this is an easily available script that allows self-service node creation. cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV pty1
