Weird getty behaviour

2004-08-12 Thread Juha K Kallio
For some reason, my gettys on tty2-12 aren't respawning correctly. After I logout the shell (zsh, if it has anything to do with this) the getty won't respawn as it should, but instead writes to auth.log that the tty is in use. After switching to another tty with alt+fn, it respawns after some time.
