I recently decided to rebuild the kernel to enable firewalling and found that the new kernel was behaving oddly. I returned the configuration back to what it was and rebuilt it and got the same effect. I then did a make world as well, all with no change. The old kernel functions as it always did. The problems are primarily (totally?) in how ttys are treated. From the console, running cons25, the first indication is that when you log in, your username is repeated: login: bozo bozo <----- password: The next is that in applications such as pine and pico, NONE of the control keys are recognized, including ^C, ^X and escape. Only ^Z and ^T seem to be recognized, so the only way out is to ^Z and kill it. When users telnet in, applications tell them they are "not using a terminal". I'm at a loss as to where to look next or what to try... anybody have any ideas? -Dave
