The problem occurs on console or in a xterm and for both root and other users. I can't find anything in the mailling list archives I am assuming it's just a configuration file somewhere I've messed up but ttys and syslog.conf look okay and I can't see a problem in /dev Thankx in advance Marc ---------------------------------- E-Mail: marcd@internode.on.net Date: 18-Nov-00 Time: 16:16:22 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
