  11. Hello,
  12.  
  13.  
  14.   To get a logion on a serial line you should alter /etc/ttys:
  15.  
  16. com01  /usr/libexec/getty   std.2400   unknown   on secure
  17. ^
  18. | /dev/com01 device file
  19.          ^
  20.          | program to run on that port. getty is for notmal login.
  21.                              ^
  22.                              | port settings see /etc/gettytab
  23.                                          ^
  24.                                          | initial setting of $TERM
  25.                                                  ^
  26.                                                  |on: use the entry
  27.                                                  |off: ignore entry.
  28.                                                       ^
  29.                                                       | secure allows
  30.                                               root to login on this line.
  31.  
  32. dont forget to 
  33. # kill -1 1 
  34. so that init knows you modified the file.
