<para>If you have a lot of <command>telnet</command>,
<command>ssh</command>, X, or <command>screen</command>
users, you might run out of pseudoterminals. By default,
&os;&nbsp;6.2 and earlier support 256 pseudoterminals, while
&os;&nbsp;6.3 and later support 512 pseudoterminals.</para>
<tip>
<para>If needed, more pseudoterminals can be added.
However, this requires patching the standard C library,
the kernel, and <filename>/etc/ttys</filename>. For
example, <ulink
url="http://www.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/pty_1152.patch"></ulink>
expands the number of pseudoterminals to 1152. Note that
the patch will only apply cleanly to &os;&nbsp;6.3 or
later.</para>
