Hi, I need help getting login to work from a serial console. If anyone has ideas, I would appreciate a reply via email. Thanks! Setup: - FreeBSD 4.0 - COM 1 as the login - /etc/ttys: "ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure" - boot with -p, and FreeBSD detects a serial console - I get the boot up messages on the screen - no keyboard plugged in - Dell Optiplex GX1 Problem: I get the login prompt on my serial console. I type in a userid (root or non-root) hit <enter> and I get the password prompt. When i type in the password and hit <enter> things just hang. After a few minutes I get the login prompt again. When i do a ps -auxww (by plugging in a monitor and a keyboard), I see a login -p <loginid> and also a login -p <passwd>. It seems like the passwd that I had typed was used as another login id and that the login process never really got my passwd. Strange... -Steve Stephen Chan Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
