I've searched here, the wiki, and google. All I can find is a www.gossamer-threads.com from 2006 for n770, which had the same limit of 4.

/etc/init.d/af-services has no reference to /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max, neither does /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-services

I would prefer to automatically have a higher limit set at boot time.

Thank you.
