Fine if fbsd wants a dozen copies running. In fact since I don't have X installed would just as soon have all 12 pf keys mapped to cli consoles for if/when am sitting at the console. My issue is one of UI, especially for "top". It would be nicer imo if those 1/2 doz getty processes were to display on one line somehow... maybe indicating the number running and a way for me to expand them if needed [which is essentially never which is my point]. So something like getty, necessary and there for the appropriate reason, i.e. it displays on "top" because it should, nonetheless is a light weight, in my case rarely used process that ends up consuming 1/3 or so of the screen real estate. >You can run apache 1.3.x through inetd -- see the 'ServerType' directive >in httpd.conf: > > http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#servertype > >As it says in bright red letters: "Inetd mode is no longer recommended and >does not always work properly. Avoid it if at all possible." In that case... >ServerType no longer exists in apache 2.0.x. Doesn't bother me, I migrated backwards to apache 1.3.x on 3/4 servers because it seems the more common version, at least for Unix. My windows gateway runs apache 2.0 because it's pretty much restricted to being a documentation repository for faqs, manuals, and the like. I guess it's something I might try if I found out it was still in common and accepted commercial use, which from what you've said does not sound likely or at least wise.
