You may also need to enable the gettys to run on those ports. -Derek At 08:18 PM 8/24/2006, Joseph Markarian wrote: >Hi, > >I have been reading on FreeBSD 6.1 with a view of installing in our 10 >user shop. >The book is: FreeBSD 6 Unleashed, by Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann (SAMS). > >On Page 93: BSD VS SYS 5 RUN CONTROL , I quote > >"There is no multiuser mode without network support (in FreeBSD 6.1) as >there is in SYS V run levels".
