It is awsome.. I get it every day at 3:00am..when my crond runs /etc/daily... If I happen to be in X when the job happens, my whole keyboard freezes.. I am still able to use the mouse to kill the login and kill X. Oh yeah I am also using syscons..the newest version but it happen to me in the old version as well. But since I am using syscons, only the tty01 gets messed up, the other ttys are still okay so I learned to only run X on one of the other ttys. When I log in to tty01 after the jobs occurs, I get the message you got. Although things appear to work okay when I get this message, control characters get messed up and simple things like more no longer work. Speaking of syscons, a funny thing always happens when I exit X that I didn't experience when I was using 386BSD instead of NetBSD which is that I get Cannot execute KBDFORCEASCII ioctl: Inapproriate ioctl for device everything seems to work okay though. Also, ever since I no longer mount an nfs partition, the /etc/security script freezes when it tries to do that massive find.. Does anyone know the answer to these problems? -Greg Tanaka glt@cco.caltech.edu glt@ugcs.caltech.edu glt@macross.caltech.edu (My rather stable NetBSD system)
