"Server refused to allocate pty"

The symptoms may indicate that there is an application that is holding on to ptys and not releasing it. Try using the 'fuser' command to find the culprit application, like this:

# cd /dev/pts

# fuser *

The 'fuser' command will list all PIDs associated with each pty device.
If there is a process that is not releasing its ptys, you will see its PID occur many times in the fuser output.

Solution: Restart the application.
