Whenever mingetty starts up, it looks at all the processes currently running, to see if they are holding the tty on which the instance of mingetty wants to work. If such a process exists, it is killed. I see that mingetty runs as root, so I don't fully understand the Permission denied thing. Perhaps the process was shutting down while mingetty was working, so the 'denied' thing really means file no longer exists? I'm not sure. In any case, I can't see that it's anything to worry about.

Hello SuSE folkz,
I see every time in /var/log/warn these messages:
Mar 11 18:55:26 linux mingetty[8723]: cannot opendir(/proc/6/fd): Permission denied Mar 11 18:55:26 linux mingetty[8724]: cannot opendir(/proc/6/fd): Permission denied
Could somebody tell me please what does it mean and how to fix it. Thank you in advance. Alex
