- Hi...
-
- I'm having problems with uugetty that I think are just
- a lack of options (anyone have a man page for uugetty?)
-
- In my inittab, I have '/etc/uugetty 2400 ttys0'. The
- uugetty is the one that comes with the SLS distribution. If I
- respawn it (using sysvinit), it creates the lock file right away
- and keeps sending login sequences to the modem.
-
- Now, from experience, my understanding of uugetty is that
- it shouldn't do this :) The lock file shouldn't be created until
- after someone dials in...shouldn't it?
-
- What I'm figuring, after doing 'strings /etc/uugetty | more'
- is that I'm missing one or more options. Could someone tell me
- what command I should be using for this, in order to do dialin/dialout?
-
- If I look at the strings output, I get a 'section' that
- is headed by 'command line values:' that contain:
-
- -C - connect
- -d - defname
- -h - no hangup
- -r - waitchar
- -t - timeout
- -w - waitfor
-
- The big problem is that there is no man page for this, there
- knowning exactly what the options mean for a couple of them (ie. -C)
- is a little elusive :(
-
- Thanks...
-
- Marc
