A pty is a psuedo-terminal. Linux creates these so you can log in and type
things on your computer. If you press ctr+alt+<#> where # is 1-5 then you
will see 5 pty's ready for login. Also SSH, telnet, and rlogin, and each
xterm uses up one PTY. Normal linux kernels are configured to support
256pty's and this is MORE than enough for desktop systems and small servers.
