Hi Folks,

Just lately I have been having a strange problem with one of my serial ports.
It has a getty type program on it waiting for dial in users.
Up until last week, everything was working fine.  Now the process seems to
kill itself off.  When I do a kill -HUP 1, I see an error message that says
port /dev/tty00 utmp index changed from 2 to 3

It only ever happens on tty00 never any of the other serial ports.

I am running version 1.1R of FreeBSD.  Should I upgrade to 1.1.5R?

Robert
