   I'm trying to figure out why I get the following message:


   Must be on a vty: Inappropriate ioctl for device

you have vidcontrol or kbdcontrol trying to do something from your shell's
startup files.  put a wrapper around it, i.e., 

# (from my ~/.login)

if ( `tty` =~ /dev/ttyv* ) then
        vidcontrol -r yellow blue
endif
