This is what I am running: # uname -a FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Thu Sep 16 13:40:35 GMT 1999 jkh@highwing.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 I have no idea what caused this problem. I had just finished doing some heavy duty compiling so that is the only thing that was going on with this machine that I could think of. I was trying to su to root and it was just saying "sorry" with out letting me type in my password. I looked in the logs and found this error: May 25 13:53:37 sshd[36102]: error: open /dev/tty failed - could not set controlling tty: No such file or directory I went into my /dev directory and found that this is the only thing that showed up when I did an ls: # ls ude/ctype.h?metaphone.c?/usr/include/ctype.h?metaphone.c?/usr/include/ctype.h?metaphone.c?/usr/include/ctype. I did some more monkeying around with MAKEDEV and mknod to finally reach this point: # ls -la ls: ude/ctype.h: No such file or directory total 34 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 33316 May 25 14:46 MAKEDEV crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 0 May 25 16:13 ptyp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 1 May 25 16:13 ptyp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 2 May 25 16:13 ptyp2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 3 May 25 16:13 ptyp3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 4 May 25 16:13 ptyp4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 5 May 25 16:13 ptyp5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 6 May 25 16:13 ptyp6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 7 May 25 16:13 ptyp7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 8 May 25 16:13 ptyp8 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 9 May 25 16:13 ptyp9 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 10 May 25 16:13 ptypa crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 11 May 25 16:13 ptypb -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10 May 25 16:12 tty crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 0 May 25 16:13 ttyp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 1 May 25 16:13 ttyp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 2 May 25 16:13 ttyp2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 3 May 25 16:13 ttyp3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 4 May 25 16:13 ttyp4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 5 May 25 16:13 ttyp5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 6 May 25 16:13 ttyp6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 7 May 25 16:13 ttyp7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 8 May 25 16:13 ttyp8 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 9 May 25 16:13 ttyp9 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 10 May 25 16:13 ttypa crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 11 May 25 16:13 ttypb However, the devices for the hard drive and such are in them because this is what happens when I list them by name: # ls -la /dev/wd0s1a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020000 Oct 25 1999 /dev/wd0s1a # ls -la /dev/wd0s1b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020001 Oct 25 1999 /dev/wd0s1b Any hints or ideas of how to fix or what caused it?
