When I try to change the file /etc/ttys, let us say I want to comment the line, thereby disabling it, ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup on secure and add cuaa0 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200" dialup on secure Then save and exit from the editor. I issue a kill -HUP 1 to process init. I notice that there is still a process, ??? ?? ?? ?:??.?? /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 ttyd0 I try to kill it but always it is being resurrected. I have to resort to rebooting the FBSD box just to get rid of this process. Is there some other convenient way to do this? Thank you ~:') -- jf
