DIAGNOSTICS
If mgetty doesn't work the way it should, the main source of diagnostic
data is the log file. It can be found in "/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyxx"
(for the mgetty process handling "ttyxx"). If it doesn't contain
enough details, enhance the log level with the '-x' option to mgetty,
e.g. "-x 5".
Many of the common problems and solutions are discussed in the mgetty
manual and the FAQ. Please see the WWW page at http://alpha.gree-
nie.net/mgetty/ for both.
