Hello, For obscure reason i would like to have a root shell with no login on the com port. I of course get through man ttys, getty, termcap, login ...
Currently i have a <<working solution>> by modifying gettytab and specifying lo string there. Still, i have to enter <<root\n>> before getting the prompt. But the mail is more about this configuration : # cat /etc/ttys console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure # cat /etc/boot.conf stty com0 9600 set tty com0 given my poor english I was expecting a prompt on my serial port, but this is not working at all, while this: # cat /etc/ttys tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure gives a login prompt as expected. Is the manual unclear (or not clear enough for me...) or ??? something else is missing ? (like saying console is on tty00) << secure If on is also specified, allows users with a UID of 0 to log in on this line. If set for the console entry, then init(8) will start a single-user shell without asking for the superuser password. >> this is done on 5.3 stable -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\
