[comp.sys.next] Getty won't DIE !!

  I an having the same problem with getty that someone else is 
having.  Not even a kill -9 will stop "The Getty That would Not 
Die !! " I too have to reboot after swaping my ttys files, ( one 
turns on getty, the other has it off ).  I am running 2.0 and 
will be until I find someone willing to help me get 2.1 as I have 
no floppy drive and no cash to get one.

I also have experienced, under 2.0, the problem of a getty that will not die.
Under 1.0 and earlier releases, one could change /etc/ttys, do a "kill -HUP 1"
and then continue. This doesn't seem to work under 2.0 (for me in changing the
baud rate at which a terminal is serially connected),and I too  resorted to a
reboot, after which the new baud rate was in effect. Glad to hear it's not just
me, I was starting to feel a bit paranoid. nick katz
