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.
