Right, as Joost points out if there is no tty12 specified you won't have one |
| 24 |
to display syslog-ng. Check your /etc/rc.conf for this entry: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# on Linux and Hurd, this is the number of ttys allocated for logins |
| 27 |
# It is used in the consolefont, keymaps, numlock and termencoding |
| 28 |
# service scripts. |
| 29 |
rc_tty_number=12 |
