AIX 6.1 appears to be assigning pseudo port numbers (pts) to new processes when the pts number is already logged in on the system. We've created a program that checks for this scenario by executing 'tty' on the new port during the login process and checking to see if the port already exists on the system. If it does exist a record is written to a file where we're tracking the problem. The login fails. I haven't been able to find any reference to a similar issue and I'm having a hard time convincing myself that it's even possible for this to happen. Any advice on how to track/disprove/fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
