If you need more, you have to edit /etc/ttys and edit the line (like) ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure Specifically, you want to cange the "off" to "on". To add more vtys, you have to cd /dev ./MAKEDEV vty7 And then you have to add entries into /etc/ttys similiar to ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure Read also the relevent section of the handbook, which should explain it all more clearly. -- tIM...HOEk
