Do you have anything running under cron? There is a problem where syslogd will steal away your keyboard if you're not running the X server on a virtual tty. Try removing any gettys from /dev/console or /dev/vga (in fact you can just remove /dev/vga) and make sure that all your consoles are running on `vtys'. E.g. your /etc/ttys file should look something like this: # # @(#)ttys 5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89 # # name getty type status comments # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ^^^ just leave that one for X. # Hardwired terminals tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure # Dialin terminals ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure # Pseudo terminals ttyp0 none network ttyp1 none network ttyp2 none network ttyp3 none network ttyp4 none network ttyp5 none network ttyp6 none network ttyp7 none network ttyp8 none network ttyp9 none network ttypa none network ttypb none network ttypc none network ttypd none network ttype none network ttypf none network ttyq0 none network ttyq1 none network ttyq2 none network ttyq3 none network ttyq4 none network ttyq5 none network ttyq6 none network ttyq7 none network ttyq8 none network ttyq9 none network ttyqa none network ttyqb none network ttyqc none network ttyqd none network ttyqe none network ttyqf none network
