They have names from /dev/ptya0 till /dev/ptyzf, then
pty0-pty63, and ttya0-ttyzf. Is this normal? I thought
udev creates device-files as they are needed, so I'm
surprised to see so much of them...
Seems to be normal, I get the same output on two of my Gentoo machines.

Thanks for info. FYI I just checked some debian-machine and
it has only 63 tty's and none pty. I always thought it had
something to do with number of terminals started by inittab.
Anyway, it looks so that udev is not dynamic for all kind
of dev-files...
