Wow! I get a message that references "/dev//2", but this only started happening after I messed with my kernel and libkvm in order to incorporate the vm86 mods needed to work on doscmd. The reference should be to "/dev/fd/2 or 3", but something is getting hosed there. I haven't figured out how to fix it. But your happens with a generic 2.2 kernel? Or did you build a custom kernel? > >but if I rlogin localhost from a xterm or just on a virtual tty they >seem to show up normally: >>slave1 daniel /usr/home/daniel > w >>12:15PM up 2:35, 2 users, load averages: 0.28, 0.29, 0.26 >>USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT >>root v0 - 9:55AM 2:18 -csh (csh) >>daniel p3 localhost 12:15PM - w > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >it worked ?!?!

I have no idea... but I feel a little better knowing that I am not the only one seeing this sort of behavior... it's time for a bug report. Ernie Pistor ------------7DE145182F1CF0FB237C228A1--
