yes, i see where they come from now. thank you. gary -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:paul@dpagin.net] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 2:08 PM To: plug@lists.phillylinux.org Subject: Re: [PLUG] mingetty question I believe those are the six virtual consoles. They respawn to wait for new connections. They always exist. I'm sure someone will come along to explain why they are persistant. As you noted, remote logins close completely. Xterms also close completely. My advice would be to not worry about it as far as there being a problem, but it never hurts to learn more about what's going on in the shadows.
