HI !!!

	When I try to change the file /etc/ttys, let us say I want to 
comment the line, thereby disabling it,

ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200"	dialup on secure

and add

cuaa0   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200"   dialup on secure

Then save and exit from the editor. I issue a kill -HUP 1 to process init.

I notice that there is still a process,

???  ??  ??     ?:??.?? /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 ttyd0

I try to kill it but always it is being resurrected. I have to resort to 
rebooting the FBSD box just to get rid of this process.


Is there some other convenient way to do this?



	Thank you ~:')
