I wonder who should change that (the kernel, in the course of processing a VT_ACTIVATE ioctl()?), but if that's what's happening on your host, then there has to be some mechanism... Hm, I'm puzzled. We're both still talking about tty_0_, right? (Ok, the discussion is a bit academic, since the OP's problem is long solved, but now I'm curious what makes that ownership change dynamically...) I'll test my google-fu on that - I can't believe that no one else has noticed that in the past... Regards, Jan -- Jan C. Nordholz <jckn At gmx net>
