Usually, the ttypN pseudo terminals are employed by xterms (or other terminal emulators on X). Maybe this is a result of a non-starting X? Do you have automated "screen" sessions running? Does the command "w" show something strange? The configuration files you showed seem to look completely normal. I don't see why init tries to getty for the ttypN... init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp[01]: No such file or directory The ttypN files in /dev are, if I see this correctly, only generated when needed. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
