Does anyone know how to enable the WATCH command in FreeBSD 1.2.5?

When invoked (as root), it says: Fatal: Cannot open snoop device.

Is the 'snoop device' something that needs to be build or what?

Thanks for any help...

    pseudo-device  snp   3    #Snoop device - to look at pty/vty/etc..

Add such a line to your kernel config file, rebuild your kernel,
and reboot.  Then make sure you have some /dev/snp* files:

    # cd /dev
    # sh MAKEDEV snp0 snp1 snp2

And most importantly, please don't use watch(8) to violate anybody's
privacy :-(

p.s. It is a good idea to see what is LINT before
     asking such questions ;-)
