Hi all, I've got problems trying login from a hard wired terminal. The getty runs properly and presents the login message. I can enter an account name. The getty then execs 'login xxxx'. Problems occur. After the getty exec's login, keyboard input is disabled, more accurately whenever a key is pressed the bell on the terminal operates. (The first time a key is pressed no bell is heard thou.) Effectively all key's are ignored as far as the process is concerned. (Running a 'w' shows ever increasing idle time, even if keys are pressed) If I try to login using an account name that requires a password then the above activity occurs after the line "Password:". If I try to login using an account that does not require a password then the above acivity occurs at the shell prompt. I'm running: Kernel 0.99pl10 getty 2.0.7b (After trying the std getty that comes with SLS) I think it has something to do with line discipline. I've read the FAQ and the closest I can find mentions using 'CLOCAL'. Tried and failed. Any assistance would be great, -Greg -------------------------------------------------------------------- Rhodos Group Greg Wickham School of Computing and Mathematics ________________________ Deakin University Voice: +61 52 272960 Geelong VIC 3217 eMail: gjw@deakin.EDU.AU --------------------------------------------------------------------
