I've found that telneting in and issuing a "kbdcontrol -r normal < /dev/ttyv0" will free the keyboard, so maybe I'll just add that command to root's crontab :-) It even happens when running X. The systems have different models of keyboards. 1.1.5.1 used to work fine on these systems. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Guy Helmer, Dakota State University Computing Services - ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu
