I would like to have ttyv9 be the X server, ttyva be the output from X, and ttyvb be the output to the system console. I have created all the necessary virtual terminals and made /dev/console link to /dev/ttyvb (I assume this is the best want to do this but I am not sure). X starts automatically on ttyv9, so that is not a problem. The question is how can I make ttyva and ttyvb accessible without a login prompt? I have tried changing the line in ttys from: "ttyvb "getty Pc" cons25 on secure" to "ttyvb none cons25 on secure" but when I do this I can's access the terminal with F12 anymore. one other question I have about terminals is how can I have a different prompt for users who are logged in from another computer, is there a certain file that is executed when a remote user logs in? Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated, Daniel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
