I've gotten my some login prompts on a vty to mess up like this by leaving a book or something sitting on the keyboard at a vty login prompt. Most of the times it will let you type alphanumeric characters in, so you can login via that vty. Once or twice it just totally hosed up the vty login, and everything I typed acted like I typed control-t and gave me the status message, or printed out odd control characters. It wouldn't even let me switch to a different vty. If I let it sit for long enough, the login would timeout, and it went back to normal. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.ORG or mpp@mpp.pro-ns.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
