I use udev and Legacy(BSD) with 2.6.12-r6. How to check if I use virtual
terminal?
How to switch to Unix98 - I can't find this option in menuconfig.
Very strange is that root can open eterm without problems, any user (even
with additional group 'root') can't.
I see some messages in logs about pam authentication. Could it be related to
that?

Thanks,

Arek
