Attempts to write to /dev/console cause keyboard input to be mangled, thus necessitating a reboot. I do have getty disabled on /dev/console and the ownership of /dev/console is correct (i.e.- the same as the invoking user). I'm using xdm and twm. Has anyone seen this phenomenon? Is there a fix? -ben
