Unraid-Server login[3651]: ILLEGAL ROOT LOGIN on '/dev/pts/8'


Recommended Posts

Definitely some funny business going on with terminal windows.  First of all "8" comes from the default "legacy pty count" we configured in the linux kernel.  This can be changed via a kernel command line option, for example to set to 20:

pty.legacy_count=20

Next, the opening/closing of windows seems to be stack-like.  That is suppose you open 8 windows: 1..8.  If you try to open next window it will fail with login not accepted.  If you then close 8, you can open it again - makes sense.  But if you close any/all windows besides number 8, it still won't let you open another window until number 8 is closed.  At this point, you can now open as many windows from 8 down until you hit an open window again.  So yeah, we'll look into this.

 

Is the this the behavior you're seeing?  BTW doesn't seem to make a difference how window is closed (either by typing 'exit' for by clicking 'X').
