It's messing up my work on the first tty (where I work as a normal user). Reading news w/ slrn and *bhang* "a message about root activities on another tty.." Can this be turned off? Or redirected to another tty? Or what? What's the use of ttyv0 if it's only used for system msgs like this? Is it fbsd policy *not* to use this tty for user activities? -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.8 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody)
