How can you login if you're still at the "ok" prompt?
No Solaris is running at this point.

The ok prompt pops up when I open a terminal window and log in.

su - myuser
password

then on the ok prompt:

"workstation#147: su myuser succeded for xxx on /dev/pts/13"

How do I turn off that damn thing?

You're sure the shell prompt isn't an "ok" as well?






Oo, I guess he has X up and the console is running behind, I've seen this
happen a long time ago, quite annoying when the whole X scrolls up because
of the console messages being written on the screen at the same time as X
is running... I assume he has his console pointed at the wrong device...

Dont remember how I got around that, belive I just started a console
window :-) and that took the output... it was many years ago...

Wondering why this happpens. Is dtlogin enabled?
xterm -C should capture the console output as a workaround.
