Just edit /etc/ttys, and add more entries. BTW, 4.1.1-stable has 8 vtys in /etc/ttys. You want to add some vtys like this: ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure 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/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure Then, do a "kill -HUP 1" to make the changes to your /etc/ttys file active. You must be running FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE, correct? - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
