I had cvsup'd and remade world, and I had also remade the /dev tree. This had changed alot of the permissions of the /dev/tree. The /dev/tty was changed to crw-------. It needs to be crw-rw-rw-. This solved my problem, maybe it will solve yours if you still have it. -billy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
