Under Linsux I liked to have syslogd do *.* to a vty I didn't use. I can accomplish a similar effect by actually running a getty but outputing the syslog messages there anyway ... but does anyone know how to do what I am asking? I tried various /etc/ttys configurations (2.2.1) and if I don't run getty I get a beep when I try to Alt+Fn. -- ##################### For PGP key, telnet senate.org 5000 # Nathan Dorfman # or finger nathan@senate.org # Senate Industries # /'-- www.senate.org | ftp.senate.org -- `\ ##################### \________________________________________/
