Hello, I'm trying to turn an old pc into a serial console. I can perfectly get a login on the other end of the line with "cu -l cuaa0", but I would like to have this command started automatically at boot, so the users don't need to be educated about cu :-). So I put the following in /etc/ttys: ttyv0 "/usr/bin/cu -l cuaa0" vt100 on secure But this gives me the following error when restarting init: init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs Apparently cu can not be started directly from /etc/ttys, can it? How else should I accomplish this? GH -- :wq
