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:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~% 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)
