Probably too specific > for this program though (and it was on 5.0-CURRENT actually). I have tried it but it didn't help. Here is the console output for more information: # /var/spool/lock: ps -ax | grep "26977" 26977 ?? IE 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1 # /var/spool/lock: kill -9 26977 # /var/spool/lock: ps -ax | grep "26977" 26977 ?? IE 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1 # /var/spool/lock: kill -1 26977 # /var/spool/lock: ps -ax | grep "26977" 26977 ?? IE 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1 Isn't it a kernel bug ? I thought that every process must be always removable at least with kill -9.
