Date: Thu, 24 Feb 1994 13:32:44 GMT Lines: 21 -- Hi, I've installed FreeBSD 1.0.2 on my PC last weekend, but when I start tcsh as my shell, I get the following message: tcsh cannot access tty thus no job control in this shell Apart from job control, I cannot use line editing, filename expansion, etc. My setting is the default as FreeBSD comes `out of the box.' The only change I made was in /etc/ttys so that getty uses the vga device to log in (as suggested by the X installation package), and I installed tcsh from a binary package for FreeBSD. In my .cshrc I use the same settings which work perfectly on SunOS 4.1 at work. I hope it's not a very stupid question, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ, nor in the man pages. Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Andras Olah olah@cs.utwente.nl
