Since slattach can fork several times, i made my Perl wrapper spawning a ``lock daemon'', an idle process just to provide for a valid PID to be entered in the lock file. Everything is a crock, but mostly works. One day i will get a real modem and rm mgetty in favour of the regular getty. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
