Hi all. I recently posted a question about this problem around two weeks
ago, and it was suggested to me that I should install the 'mgetty'
package. I've done that and it works, but login still disconnect's users
if their first login was incorrect. This is unacceptable and has to be
changed. I believe that this could be a problem with login, rather than
with mgetty, since mgetty passes control to login after it picks up the
incomming call. So if anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix
it, please mail me! The machine is a 486 running RedHat 4.1. It has
4x14.4K modems (Dynalink 1414VQE), which are connected via two serial
boards. No special serial config has been used.
