I have 2.6.7-1.503 kernel running on a Thinkpad 600E with an uptime of 4 days. Now when I invoke xterm - I get the error: ---- xterm : Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys ---- And the machine is sluggish - can't loginto via ssh etc.. Time for a reboot and check for more updates.. Satish
