- To follow up on what Mike said....
-
- This problem somtimes occurs when you've added more ptys to your
- system (via MAKEDEV), but forgot to add them to /etc/ttys.
-
- If you're running X, another possiblity is that, or the user has put:
-
- xterm*utmpInhibit: true
-
- in his or her Xresource or Xdefaults file.
