This is from the -stable version of LINT: # Of these, only the `log' device is truly mandatory. The `pty' # device usually turns out to be ``effectively mandatory'', as it is # required for `telnetd', `rlogind', `screen', `emacs', and `xterm', # among others. # If you wish to run certain # system utilities which are compressed by default (like /stand/sysinstall) # then `gzip' becomes mandatory too. # pseudo-device pty 16 #Pseudo ttys - can go as high as 256 #pseudo-device vcfs 4 #coda minicache <-> venus comm. pseudo-device speaker #Play IBM BASIC-style noises out your speaker pseudo-device log #Kernel syslog interface (/dev/klog) pseudo-device gzip #Exec gzipped a.out's pseudo-device vn #Vnode driver (turns a file into a device) pseudo-device snp 3 #Snoop device - to look at pty/vty/etc.. pseudo-device ccd 4 #Concatenated disk driver It's not in -current LINT, GENERIC or GENERICupgrade though. It's not in my kernel config either. You probably commented it out when it disappeared from -current and then forgot about it :) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - dag-erli@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
