Continuing with my older thread, about respawning to fast... I saw in my logs that /sbin/mingetty is unable to initialize /dev/tty2-6 ... I have checked permissions and group, they seem find but the odd thing is that I am unable to chmod them (I want to give read and execute permission to group and others, just to do some trial & error... but it says operation not permitted and I am doing it as root!!!) Any ideas of what can have gone wrong?? If my tty(s) got corrupted, should I use mknod to regenerate them? Thanks! Raul
