I worked around this problem by giving getty the full path to the tty in inittab. i.e. "6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 /dev/tty6" vs. "6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6". I don't know why this works. -- Lift me down, so I can make the Earth tremble. --Bucky Katt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
