If I set the right stty-mode to avoid staircase effects, getty switches it back if I happen to press a key. So I would like to have a virtual console just for logging. I'm sorry to say, but I do it all the time at work with linux... Leif leif@neland.dk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
