For some retro feeling I grabbed my old modem and attached it to the

this is good.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions... its actually MGETTY that's causing
the issue, not GETTY. Its hard to see because it scrolls off the screen so
fast I'm trying to read something that's scrolling on an LCD display, which
doesn't refresh very fast.
Anyway, that aside,

Upon installing Debian 2.0 on my Satellite 205CDS laptop (slowly getting
rid of NT everywhere!), this laptop, pretty much every 5 minutes, whips out
a bunch of error messages relating to /sbin/getty, then suddenly tells me
its going to "wait for 5 minutes".
I'm not sure where this
I said, this scheme works under hpux. ymmv.

Subject:App, !getty on /dev/tty1?
I'm working on a solu
I'm working on a solution where the client does not want their users to have
to login to Linux (at the console) before running a custom app. It's a very
"vertical" solution with no need for security and there will be no need to
run anything else on the box.
What I want to do
I am trying to get debian packages to install on my machine by linking from
my Linux box to a WindowsNT PC with a null-modem.
On the Linux box I issue the following command to try to set-up a
connection:
getty ttyS0 9600
On the Windows PC, I open hyperterminal on COM1 with the settings 9600
8-n-1
What is mingetty useful/used for? How do you install it? I have tried;
dselect and dpkg will not let me remove or exchange agetty.

I was thinking a while back it would be nice if there were
some sort of VGA getty, which showed the Linux (and/or Debian)
logos, and gave a login screen. Just a bit of a gimmick
for some home systems perhaps. Does anyone know of such a thing?
I have not the time to learn svgalib and to write it
Might look into ttysnoop or snooptty or something like that.
