Okay, this isn't a specific FreeBSD question, so I guess I should expect
the flames that may or may not be coming.
I'm stuck at home right now with a z39 terminal. I'm having trouble
logging into my FreeBSD box sitting in my office. I dial up to the
terminal server, specify my machine. I get the login prompt, but then
no matter what I type, nothing happens.
I think what's happening is that login is setting the terminal to 8 bits
but the z39 is only 7bit. Is there anyway I can allow a pty to be set
to 7 bits?
I know that I shouldn't have a getty specification for any of the pty's,
so I was wondering if I could specify a specific pty for telnetd to
launch (ugh, yet another entry in /etc/services 8), and then have an
entry for that specific pty in /etc/gettytab.
Oh well, I should sleep. Thanks for listening. As always, any and all
pointers will be appreciated.
