Hi, It seems getty(8) needs an argument (in /etc/ttys at least):
Otherwise, loads of this in /var/log/authlog after rebooting: Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[31932]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[12802]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[17719]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[30241]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[19066]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[23566]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[2623]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:03 pine getty[3246]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:04 pine getty[19976]: (null): Bad file descriptor Apr 13 15:27:04 pine init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/tty00, sleeping getty(8) says the 'default' table is used when no argument is given.
