Unlimited Number of Pseudo-terminals Available

Solaris 8 software enables the opening on any number of pseudo-terminals (used by programs like rlogin and telnet). In previous releases, only 48 pseudo-terminals were allocated by default. Solaris 8 software now allocates pseudo-terminals dynamically when they are needed, automatically adapting to the work load. This benefits desktop users and system administrators who deal with large numbers of open terminal sessions.
