I checked, and I have the same problem on my -current box. All my vtys and ptys show up with as much idle time as the machine's uptime. I ssh a lot öut"from this box, but very little *into* it, so the fubared ptys are mostly xterms. On my laptop (also running -current), I have an xterm which shows up with twice as much idle time as the machine's uptime, though that is caused by a bug (feature?) in the uptime calculation (time during which the machine is suspended isn't counted as uptime) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - smoergrd@oslo.geco-prakla.slb.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
