Last week my server rebooted spontaneously while running 'portupgrade', and froze during initialization of local packages. Luckily, I have been able to get in using SSH from another terminal. The problem that shows up in /var/log/messages is: "init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: Operation not permitted". After doing some research, I tried running 'getty' and my session froze. It looks like the 'getty' binary somehow got farkled (stray alpha particle?). So I went to /usr/src/libexec/getty and tried to run "make install". I got the error message: "install: getty: No such file or directory". I'm sure there's a way to do this without building world. Can someone direct me to the solution? -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
