Hi all,
I'm having a disturbing problem with getty i fbsd (fbsd 4.5 on a compaq laptop). One day, when the boot process was complete, my logs were spammed with messages from getty:
May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2676]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2676]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2678]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device

May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2680]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2680]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device

May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2684]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
May 20 21:27:10 laptop getty[2684]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
May 20 21:27:10 laptop init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
May 20 21:27:10 laptop init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
As you see, getty restarts itself, over and over again, which causes a very high load on the box (not to mention /var/log/messages being spammed). I have'nt touched any configuration files conserning getty, this problem just turned up one day (as mentioned above).
I would be very thankfull for any help. I don't wish to do a reinstall.

The serial device is getting activated during the bootup; however , i do believe there is no any serial device
in the computer (modem Etc.). You need to disable the "getter" in order for the system not to probe again the particular serial device
Do you have 'getty' specified on the 'console' line in /etc/ttys? You shouldn't AFAIK, it should be just console none unknown off secure. The getty(s) that handle login on the console(s) are specified on the ttyvN lines:
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ...

the system. now, ifconfig shows them to be pcn0 and pcn1. i assigned
them their ip addresses in rc.conf.

Can anyone give me a relatively simple definition of what a "getty" is? Are there multiple getty processes or types of getty processes? or is there just one?
What does getty do in relation to a tty or pty?
Thanks to all who respond.
