Serial TTY's
Okay, I've got a fairly out-of-the-box Bo system, and I wanted to hook up a dumb text terminal to it (in addition to the standard console). I've done this before on Linux and Debian machines, no problem, but now it's not working. For starts, I tried uncommenting the line in inittab T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 19200 vt100 And I get a login prompt just fine. And it prompts me for a password. Then a minute later getty dies and is respawned by init. I get the same results with the corresponding commands for gettyps and mgetty. I am guessing that login's config is responsible, but it's a little hard to diagnose since login_961025-2.deb's documentation doesn't match the programs well. Oh, and the getty is 1.45a-3 Any ideas? -- Richard W Kaszeta Graduate Student/Sysadmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of MN, ME Dept http://www.menet.umn.edu/~kaszeta -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
