Perhaps you should RTFM? :-) INIT(8) UNIX System Manager's Manual INIT(8) NAME init - process control initialization ... init starts a process on the line). If a line is commented out or delet- ed from ttys, init will not do anything at all to that line. However, it will complain that the relationship between lines in the ttys file and records in the utmp file is out of sync, so this practice is not recom- mended. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
