Partially. Debian, rather Ubuntu believes that everything the operator does is at the user level. So even though they let the operator do the install and create the Root account, they do not boot into it. It goes straight into that user account, and you need to use the sudo function. That's just my opinion of course. Are we talking about DS9097s and that they are connected to USB to serial adapters? Or do you mean a system with a physical serial port? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
