Hi - I'm sorry my last response was not correct. It seems to be a combination of root logon on any tty will get the messages but any logon on tty0 will get them too. I was logged on as root on tty0 and myself on tty1 it appeared that I was getting them everywhere ! Still wouldn't mind avoiding them whoever I'm logged on as though. regards richard shea. ***************************************************** Open Door Ltd PO Box 119-46 Wellington PH 04 384 7639 FX 04 384 7672 ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
