I have this message going on over and over again in /var/log/messages.
,----
| Apr  1 11:32:50 soup init: can't exec getty '/usr/local/sbin/mgetty' \
|                       for port /dev/cuaa2: No such file or directory
`----
The problem is that I first installed, and then uninstalled
mgetty+sendfax port. So, for sure I don't have an mgetty binary where
init is looking for it.

The question is: Why is init looking for it, and how do I remedy the
problem?

p.s. Is it normal to have two `init' processes (appearing in `top')?
One is with PID 1, as expected ;^), and the other one has a larger
PID, which changes once every few seconds.

Thanks!

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
