It's not superstition, there's a damn good reason: peter@overcee[7:41pm]~ports/emulators-191> grep revoke ~src/libexec/getty/* /home/src/libexec/getty/main.c: revoke(ttyn); peter@overcee[7:41pm]~ports/emulators-192> grep console ~src/etc/syslog.conf *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console However, due to other bugs: pwroot@overcee[7:53pm]~ports/sysutils/lsof-106# lsof | grep -i revoke adjkerntz 31 root 0u VBAD (revoked) adjkerntz 31 root 1u VBAD (revoked) adjkerntz 31 root 2u VBAD (revoked) cron 153 root 0u VBAD (revoked) cron 153 root 1u VBAD (revoked) cron 153 root 2u VBAD (revoked) This is on a machine with a getty on /dev/ttyv0 only. Machines with serial consoles and a getty on /dev/ttyd0 are also affected. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
