good day all ....

i've got a solaris box that was working fine with my conserver setup. sun
asked me to apply some patches and now i get this when i try to get a console
session:

basswood:~ # console -u | grep hydra
 hydra                      up   <none>
basswood:~ # console hydra
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]
 
hydra-1.lsd.ornl.gov console login: mgx
Warning -- ttymon cannot allocate controlling tty on "/dev/console",
           there may be another session active on this port.

it was working fine before i started this patch marathon.
