- Hi,
-
- I have a big problem with the built-in getty.
-
- My inittab contains the line :
-
- ttys1:vt100:/etc/getty 9600 ttys1
-
- Normally should the terminal connected to COM2 (this is ttys1 on my
- system) show the login prompt. But nothing happened !!
-
- When i start getty from the shell with getty 9600 tty1, it
- returns "HangUp".
-
- The extern terminal is another PC connected with a serial cable and
- and null-modem connector (2-3,3-2,4-5,5-4 ...).
-
- I've tried getty_ps and it works after i typed in
- "/bin/getty ttys1 9600". But is very boring to initialize the terminal
- with this sequence.
-
- What can i do ?
-
- Bye,
-
- Michael
