Terminal mangled when attaching to existing console

[vvillenave]

Description

This is what I get when opening a console into a running wifibox image:

[root@arco ~]# wifibox console

wifibox:~# 

So far, so good. Now if I open another terminal and try to type the same command, here’s what I get:

[root@arco ~]# wifibox console

Have you tried to turn it on and off?

• Yes, I have read all the manual pages first!

Thanks for reporting the issue! Personally, I could not reproduce this. On my 13.4 system, the second invocation to wifibox console gives a error.

# wifibox console
Connecting, type "~." to leave the session...
all ports busy
Finished.

Maybe that is something specific to FreeBSD 14 and later versions. I will have to investigate this further.

I could not reproduce this issue on a freshly installed 14.1-RELEASE system either.
