Since a power supply provider failure (thank you EDF)
I have strange behaviour with myNetBSD (1.5.1 i386)

it occurs the first time while booting
as anyone can see, in the file /etc/rc.d/ttys
there is an execution of ttyflags, ok, it works
and just after that, there is something like

chmod 666 /dev/tty[p-q-r-s]*

and chmod sticks

I am obliged to break it (ctrl + c)
it keeps booting normally after that

but it still occurs anytime, I can't chmod any file
as everybody knows, scipts used in makefile (for example)
ofter use chmod, so I can't do anything more with
my NetBSD but what is already installed (borring isn't it?)

does anyone know something about this problem ?

thank you
