- That's strange...mine has /etc/getty in it. But I too am having
- a slight problem....7etting a port to accept both out going and incoming
- logins. Right now I'm usig a terminal for testing (well, another Unix
- machine). If I don't enable the getty on the port, I can use kermit to
- connect to the second Unix Machine without a hitch. If I run the getty,
- everything *seems* to work for dialing in, but dialing out no longer works.
-
- Also, is there a way of 'restarting' init after making a change
- to the inittab file? On my other machine, it is /etc/init q.
-
- And another weird thing...if I do a 'ps -aux', it shows PID 1 as being
- /bin/init...but if I look, there is no such thing, it is in /etc/init,
- where I would expect it.

- When installing (I don't know if it will work after), type:
-
- rdev -v /dev/?? -3 (I think the ?? was the floppy drive used
- for installing)
