From: ianc AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: Number of TTYs 6 Oct 1998 10:10:19 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "Gnu-Win32 (E-mail)" I have setup an NT Server (NT4 SP3) with Gnu-win32. My whole company telnets to this server to run ported "unix" applications (character based). However, after about 15 logins, we run out of tty's. I remember hearing that, in order to increase the number of ttys, the cygwin dll could be recompiled after changing winsup/ttys.h to a larger value. REQUEST: CAN THE DEFAULT VALUE OF NTTYS BE INCREASED TO A MORE REASONABLE VALUE RATHER THAN 15. I am sure others will fall into the same hole. Anyway, I took a deep breath, and, downloaded egcs-1.0.3a and installed it. downloaded the gnu-win32 source changed the winsup/ttys.h (NTTYS to 64) did a ./configure on the /usr/src did a make. This did it's stuff, and made a /usr/src/winsup/new-cygwinb19.dll. So I moved new-cygwinb19.dll to /Cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/cygwinb19.dll, and opened a new bash session which promptly dr.Watsoned. So, I recompiled/linked bash, and that got me going . However, I still cannot connect 64 users to the machine (in fact, my new copy stops at about 5 now!). Do I have to recompile inetutils (inetd, etc)? I also notice that when I login (telnet) to the gnu-win32, I have no echo. Is this a patched bash problem? Many regards, Ian Collins. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
