Hello everyone!

Since it's ttys conversation going on, I want to state my ? here as well.
Ok, I have line in my syslog.conf

*.*							/dev/ttyvb

Cool!  Everything works perfectly fine.

Now, my /etc/ttys looks like this:

....
ttyv9   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25r on  secure
ttyva	none
ttyvb	none
....

Well, I should expect that pressing Alt-F12 will bring up my logs, and
Alt-F11 will show me black screen.  Hell no!  I won't be able to switch to
that concole (it will beep).

The reason why I need ttyva clean (not getty) is that I wan't dnetc CSC
client put it's log there, so I don't need to tail -f them (hence to be
login all the time).

What fascinates me, that if I being root do:

cat /etc/ttyva

I will be able to switch to ttyva with Alt-F11, and all logs are there!!!!

But as soon as I press ^D, it's gone!  No more logs!

What am I missing here guys?!
