Hmm - while I acknowledge that I've seen this problem before (I've used some variant of Unix since the late 1970s and FreeBSD since 2.x), whether it is perfectly normal is arguable. I suspect that there are a great many places - shell scripts and C source code leap to mind - where the lack of a terminating newline at the end of a file does not cause the line to be ignored altogether. I rather think this is an age-old bug that never got fixed because of its minor importance. In any case, i've authored a PR to make note of it. If I ever get the time, I'll dig into the source myself and see if I can figure out where the wheels are coming off... -- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In both of those cases, the relevant standards say that such input is invalid. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Enabling A Serial Port On 6.2
System is FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. I've added this to /etc/ttys: ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty dial.115200unknown on insecure And this to gettytabs: dial.115200:\ :np:to#30:hw:sp#115200:pp=/etc/ppp/pppserv But when I 'kill -HUP 1' no getty process on ttyd0 shows up in the ps listing. dmesg | grep sio yields: ioapic0 Version 2.0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard acpi_hpet0: High Precision Event Timer iomem 0xfed0-0xfed003ff on acpi0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 usb1: USB revision 1.0 usb2: USB revision 1.0 usb3: USB revision 1.0 usb4: EHCI version 1.0 usb4: USB revision 2.0 sio0: 16550A-compatible COM port port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled Looking into /dev, I see: crw--- 1 root wheel - 0, 50 Jul 7 14:46 /dev/ttyd0 crw--- 1 root wheel - 0, 51 Jul 7 14:46 /dev/ttyd0.init crw--- 1 root wheel - 0, 52 Jul 7 14:46 /dev/ttyd0.lock This all used to work swell under 4.x, so what am I missing.
