Not entirly sure I understand your question, but new connections
will be put in read-only mode if the server already has a connection
in read-write mode. What happens if you do ^Ecw to see who else is
connected? What about ^Ecf to force you into read-write?

Does not give me chance to do anything. System has been rebooted and
services restarted. Doing this as root.

Thanks for the reply.

there's one other possibility. if the local device has permissions
that are read-only for the user running conserver, you'll get read-only
connections to the console (since it can't open the port read-write).

so, what are the perms on /dev/ttyD000? 444? if you temporarily
change them to 777 and start conserver, does it fix the problem?

just a wild guess. aside from this and the already mentioned "another
user", i can't think of a reason why you'd get read-only connections
(well, aside from a bizarre bug).

hope this helps.
