Upon rebooting, I got error messages about getty not being able to find /dev/ttyv4 through /dev/ttyv7. Also startx would not work, reporting that /dev/ttyv4 was missing. I traced it down to /etc/ttys, which was updated. Upon replacing this with the old /etc/ttys, all these bad problems disappeared. > diff /etc-new/ttys /etc/ttys 2c2 < # $Id: ttys,v 1.2.2.2 1999/07/04 17:18:50 des Exp $ --- > # $Id: ttys,v 1.2.2.1 1999/02/12 04:03:39 wes Exp $ 37,42c37 < ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure < ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure < ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure < ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure < ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure < ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure --- > ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure > -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu 307 Math Science Building stephen@showme.missouri.edu Department of Mathematics stephen@missouri.edu University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone (573) 882 4540 Fax (573) 882 1869 http://math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
