This is what I'm thinking. Sometimes my consoles were vc's instead of tty's and since the first is vc/0 and isn't in /etc/securetty. The only difference here is that it doesn't work when switching to a different console (Alt+F2 would go to vc/1 which IS allowed). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC5QWFW3d/aAsHRrcRAhHSAJ95+Z2CwuAv5HbJxGDGJu5LdJfvHACgjbw0 jyqSUzCPvIICBWzNSEhWN5w= =oW+C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
