Hi all. I recently downloaded the most recent getty_ps, compiled it, and attempted to use it. My origional intent was uugetty to answer the phone so I could have dial-up PPP to my linux box at home. - HOWEVER - After installing, and following the documentation all I seem to get is: (from messages) Jul 4 14:14:47 scum init: Id "d2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes There is a reference to this in the documentation, but I cannot seem to see why it is happening. The following is in my /etc/inittab d2:12345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty 38400 ttyS1 vt100 I have also tried it as s2:12345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty 38400 ttyS1 vt100 My modem works fine from Minicom. I'm using a Banksia WAVE SP modem. (33.6K) As an aside, my newly built getty also respawns too fast, so I'm currently still using agetty. (Which will indeed answer the phone, but the dialling computer gets crap on the screen, which is why I tried getty_ps in the first place...) SO: Neither of the binaries built from the getty_ps-2.0.7j source work. :( Now. Is it something silly I have done, or is this a common problem? Could anyone else who has set their linux box up as a dial in server possible email the details of what they used, etc. Thanks. Please cc replies to nathan@NOSPAM.siggah.com (And of course, please remove the NOSPAM... spam. :( )
