The tty handling in FreeBSD has been improved alot since 1.0e. I suggest getting FreeBSD 1.1 (in beta-test now) when it's released and seeing it it fixes your problems. You'll want to upgrade to FreeBSD 1.1 anyway, due to the improved VM system which is VERY nice. I've bee beating on my box VERY heavily with less than 10% swap space available for testing purposes since my last reboot and so far it's run like a champ. (Though it did kill off one of my processes when things got a bit too tight, but that's preferrable to panic'ing or become useless) Here's my uptime. 11:47am up 17 days, 18 hrs, 8 users, load average: 0.40, 0.18, 0.17 On a heavily used box with lots of interactive/non-interactive processes running all the time. I'll probably reboot it before the weekend to add another swap disk though. ;-) Nate -- nate@bsd.coe.montana.edu | FreeBSD core member and all around tech. nate@cs.montana.edu | weenie. work #: (406) 994-4836 | Graduating May '94 with a BS in EE home #: (406) 586-0579 | - looking for work in CS/EE field.
