Indeed, I had in /etc/ttys the following line: ,----[ /etc/ttys ] | cuaa2 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty" unknown on insecure `---- I commented it out, but the messages from init persist: ,----[ /var/log/messages ] | Apr 1 12:25:54 soup init: can't exec getty '/usr/local/sbin/mgetty' \ | for port /dev/cuaa2: No such file or directory | Apr 1 12:27:54 soup last message repeated 4 times | Apr 1 12:37:55 soup last message repeated 20 times `---- Do I need to restart something? Don't tell me I need to reboot! ;^) Any further ideas? -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
