OK; that patch seems to have needed a small tweak -- using FWRITE implies that it's defined, so I need to include sys/fcntl.h; cvs diff follows my uname ouput: FreeBSD m147.whistle.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #146: Wed Oct 24 14:28:45 PDT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/common/C/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP_30W i386 Index: sys/kern/tty_cons.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/freebsd/src/sys/kern/tty_cons.c,v retrieving revision 1.93 diff -u -r1.93 tty_cons.c --- sys/kern/tty_cons.c 23 Oct 2001 20:25:50 -0000 1.93 +++ sys/kern/tty_cons.c 24 Oct 2001 21:19:23 -0000 @@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/systm.h> +#include <sys/fcntl.h> #include <sys/conf.h> #include <sys/cons.h> #include <sys/kernel.h> @@ -365,7 +366,7 @@ { struct cn_device *cnd; - openflag = flag; + openflag = flag | FWRITE; /* XXX */ cn_is_open = 1; /* console is logically open */ if (cn_mute) return (0); @@ -382,7 +383,7 @@ STAILQ_FOREACH(cnd, &cn_devlist, cnd_next) { if (cnd->cnd_vp == NULL) continue; - vn_close(cnd->cnd_vp, mode, td->td_proc->p_ucred, td); + vn_close(cnd->cnd_vp, openflag, td->td_proc->p_ucred, td); cnd->cnd_vp = NULL; } cn_is_open = 0; Anyway, I'm up & running multi-user on today's -CURRENT.
