No opportunity is > given for login to the serial console except during the boot process. Is ttyd0 marked 'off' in /etc/ttys? It is by default. If it is, change 'off' to 'on' to make it look like this: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" cons25 on secure (yes, I changed dialup->cons25, you don't have to if you don't want to) Note that this won't stop a login prompt from showing up on the internal console. You can have both. If you don't want it, mark v0-v7 'off' in /etc/ttys. Once you're done with your modifications to /etc/ttys, either reboot or send sighup to init (`kill -1 1`). Hopefully that wasn't too confusing.. -- Dima Dorfman <dima@unixfreak.org> Finger dima@unixfreak.org for PGP public key.
