Hi, I would like to be able to log in to box via a serial port or the like to get 'console' access to the box remotely. I have several servers (web, mail ,etc.) co-located with my backbone provider and it really sucks to have to drive three hours up there just to do a fsck and the like. I've read the sections of the Handbook that discuss doing this with the serial ports but I havn't been able to get it to work. I can watch FreeBSD bootup but it doesn't give me a login prompt. My questions are: 1) Is it possible to log in to a FreeBSD 4.1.1 (or higher) through a serial port? 2) If so, has anyone setup a Lucent PM2 or other box (FreeBSD or whatever) to console into multiple boxes? (I ask about the PM2 because I just happen to have one lying around.) Any ideas would be appreciated.
