That enables them if = they are the kernel console and is probably a user friendliness = improvement. Sorry for the delay... I think that's a very good idea. I wasn't even aware of this flag. We could mark all ttyu# lines as onifconsole by default across all architectures and if that unifies the contents of the /etc/ttys file, revert back to a single one... --=20 Marcel Moolenaar marcel@xcllnt.net --Apple-Mail=_0D290E8F-B4AC-4A1D-AB83-7594EAB7E83B Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAlNm0EsACgkQpgWlLWHuifaQ7gCeJDhhtCUrpB66NhKw4zxfatRP 9sIAnAjAwQ6H12AXArtgsvx0AoWSU20c =DilW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_0D290E8F-B4AC-4A1D-AB83-7594EAB7E83B--
