I have done as you have instructed. Set up /etc/ttyv with ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Al" cons25 on secure and in /etc/gettytab A|Al|Autologin console:\ :ht:np:sp#115200:al=olivares as my username is olivares. It is working on BETA 2 :) Now I hope to get it working again at home on an 8.2 amd machine. I will report back but return different machine and different information, hope only with a success report :) It was working before, and now it is not :( Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
