Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG When I do: # kill -HUP 1 My log screen shows: guardian init: port /dev/ttyv3 changed utmp index from 6 to 5 guardian init: port /dev/ttyv3 changed utmp index from 5 to 6 "At the same time," a new login prompt is printed on ttyv3. If I'm logged into ttyv3 at the time, I'm forcibly logged out. It doesn't happen on any other terminals. I'm curious what the "utmp index" messages mean and why it's happening. # uname -a FreeBSD guardian.lan 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #1: Tue Sep 14 19:05:38 PDT 1999 root@gw.home:/usr/src/sys/compile/GW i386 --- Please be sure to keep dmp@aracnet.com in the addressee list as I'm not subscribed to -questions.
