Seems to be modem related ????? but there is > no modem in the system and no ref. in /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf Why are you running mgetty? It looks to me like you've got mgetty installed and starting at boot time, but you've never configured it. Those error messages are indicative of the config file that installs with mgetty - it's invalid and has lots of "comments" to help you configure it properly. My suggestion would be: 1. Make sure you really need mgetty - if not, either deinstall it or configure it to not start up on bootup (/etc/ttys) 2. If you need mgetty, configure it properly (/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config is the one that appears to be the problem here) -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
