ttypn should be c 3 n, according to linux/Documentation/devices.txt
(and my Slackware system, although that's not really helping my case
much :). Try:
cd /dev/
for x in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f; do
rm ttyp$x
mknod ttyp$x c 3 `printf %d 0x$x`
chown root.tty ttyp$x
chmod g+rw ttyp$x
done
Or simply;
for x in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f; do
MAKEDEV ttyp$x
done
