It makes me think of the following two points: (1) Run getty on a line (e.g. /dev/ttyd0) only if the machine is expecting a login on that line. (2) If I do not want to login, I can turn off the lines in /etc/ttys. In this case, I can still use the line by other programs like kermit. In other words, I can use serial communication without touching /etc/ttys or getty at all. Please correct me if I am still wrong. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
