Pseudo Terminals

Thanks to all who replied:

The solution for me was manipulating the corrupted /etc/utmp - file

with the program written by DaviD W. Sanderson (dws@cs.wisc.edu).

It is available from comp.sources.unix (ask archie for the server

next to you) in Volume 25.

MAKEDEV/mknod did not help because the utmp-file seems to be

unaffected by this command.

Mehregan mentioned that there might be a patch for this behaviour.

Is there anyone who has the number on the fly? If it is a Bug, I wonder

why Sun did not fix it in 4.1.2.

Sometimes when I log into one of our SUN's and ask 'who',

I get something like

User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what

cseb ttyp2 8:40am w

xbey ttyp6 14Aug9210days -

xbey does not have any processes running. It seems as if

the Pseudo Terminal is not released correctly. I looked

through the answerbook, manuals and FAQs - nothing found.

How can I free ttyp6 ?

Setup: several SPARCs, 4.1.2, OW3, occasionally SUNVIEW
