does anybody know what the precise difference is between /dev/console (5, 1)
and /dev/ttyX (4, X) i've seen a bunch of things on google about this which i just don't believe. char major numbers 4 and 5 are listed as both TTY devices (actually, major number 5 is an "alternate" TTY device). anybody know what the difference is between the "system console" and "virtual console"? i was thinking of adding the line: 10:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 console and rerunning init, just to see what would happen, but i'm running an important job on lucifer and don't want to experiment on satan... ;) thanks, pete -- GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
