IE 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1 ps(1) says that "IE" means "sleeping for more than 20 seconds" and "trying to exit". mgetty probably got angry because I ran a ppp connection on the same serial port. mgetty's wchan was "ttywai". Lacking clues, I finally managed to "kill" it with: stty sane < /dev/cuaa1 Out of curiosity, does anybody have an idea about what happened here? :) -- jimmy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
