Duke told us that he didn't get nothing. That's correct. You don't get nothing (messages) if "init" rescans /etc/ttys and there's nothing wrong. I guess Duke wanted something like "to re-initialize" quickly the system with that command. Simply, it doesn't do that thing. >2) Duke's second attempt should produce some kind of invalid syntax > warning. It's a matter of taste if it should issue a warning/error or not, in this case. Probably it's ignored or interpreted as 0... I don't have time to check the sources right now. --- Stefano Riva Systems & Network Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
