Go into your /etc/inittab - that's where it's controlled from. Find the section that looks like the following: --- begin quoted section --- # /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. # # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). # # Format: # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 --- end quoted section --- What you should do is add lines like these - one line for each tty that you want. For example to add one more tty you would add the line: 7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty7 and after a reboot you would have tty's 1 through 7. At least I *think* you have to reboot - I could be wrong on that one. But this should at least point you in the right direction. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
