Really cute to see a little 'top' running. :) Anyway, the suggested entry in /etc/ttys: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure does not work for me at all, yet if I do this intead: cuaa0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure I indeed get a login prompt, and I'm all set. I know that one device is for initiating outgoing connections, and the other for incoming connections, but I don't understand why the lines provided in a stock install seem to have the sense reversed... (Oh, this is under FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE, but I've seen similar symptoms under 3.x.) -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
