In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk With 2.0-RELEASE I got a little crazy and took that and almost everything else that "seemed" non-essential out of a kernel, and ttyname stopped working. Really screwed wtmp, and everything that depended on the tty info therein. That was the most annoying thing, and is the only thing I distinctly remember breaking.
