Ok, I am having a bit of trouble setting up a serial console login. The cable is attached to com1, heres my /etc/ttys
# The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on secure
Now, my problem is that when I do a kill -HUP 1 nothing happens; Well, I am sure something happens, it certainly doesn't start getty on that serial port though! However(!) when I start getty manually on that port:
/usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0
It promptly goes into the background and on my other machine I get the login prompt and all is well (until I logout as getty isn't being respawned). I didn't see anything logged as to why it's not working.
I will mention that I yanked the (very very broken) graphics card out of that machine, so there's no ttyv's. Do I need to make the serial console my ... console/display for getty to start working again perhaps?
Any help would be much appreciated.
probably you need to change dialup with something (like vt100) sutable your enviroment
I have tried cons25, xterm and (now) vt100. It's not that...
# Serial terminals # The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" cons25 on secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure # Dumb console dcons "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure # Pseudo terminals ttyp0 none network /etc/ttys: 307 lines, 7539 characters (root|bone)/home/mrboo# kill -HUP 1 (root|bone)/home/mrboo# ps ax | grep getty 21134 p0 R+ 0:00.02 grep getty (root|bone)/home/mrboo#
Note: I have no getty processes as there's no graphics card, so I am guessing if it was working right I would start to see a:
/usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyd0
It appears in the process list (and works) when I run the above manually!
