mingetty uses "vhangup()" to invalidate all accesses to a tty and in general all daemon programs should either use syslog or log to a file. You can easily change mingetty to not call vhangup() for the /dev/console on mainframe, or you can directly call "bash" on the console and not call mingetty at all. greetings, Florian La Roche
