Hi again
Got it fixed, I had an /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh script starting, this
seemed to stop the getty processes. I activated the xdm tty:
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
This fixed the getty problem so now they all apear in the ps list, including
the ttys
Thanks for the help
Daniel

Actually the getty process will detect the data on the serial port and
act accordingly. Perhaps when you do 'kill -1 1' some error messages
are logged in /var/log/{messages,console}? Is any other getty process
running? Maybe there is some syntax error in /etc/ttys? I have never
experienced such behavior so I am rather guessing at this moment.
