            Bug ID: 230003
           Summary: Cannot redirect output to /dev/console on 11.2-Release
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: od2010@sbcglobal.net

This bug was discovered using the comms/mgetty+sendfax.

That port executes a system() call that has output redirected to /dev/conso=
le.=20
That system() fails with the following message:

system() failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device


This error message is confirmed by the following command:

# echo "foo" >/dev/console 2>&1 </dev/null
/dev/console: Device not configured.

This program was working fine on FreeBSD 11.1-Release.
