Even if i do killall mgetty this program is still continually respawned. It seems that init does not reload ttys when receiving HUP, contrary to what man page says and what is usual. Is this a known bug I am running FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #0: Mon Sep 20 Moreover i have a second problem related to this one. I wanted to test a modem (of rockwell type) under ppp. When i issue term at the ppp prompt, the modem seems irresponsive. For example atz gives nothing. However under minicomm the modem correctly answers the at commands and dials. Finally i have another modem (US robotics sportster) which works correctly under ppp. I thought that the modem was confused by mgetty, so tried to disable it and found the above strange behaviour. I would be happy to get some help. Thanks -- Michel TALON To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
