mgetty problem

Hi,

I've just installed mgetty (with 2.0.36), but a few things seem not to
work properly. When dialing into the server from a client machine, the
server answers, but sends only garbage back.

The mgetty logfile on the server looks like this:

03/07 18:08:05 yS0  mgetty: official release 1.0.0
03/07 18:08:05 yS0  check for lockfiles
03/07 18:08:05 yS0  locking the line
03/07 18:08:05 yS0  can't get group 'modem': No such file or directory

03/07 18:11:19 yS0  found action string: ``+FHNG:''
03/07 18:11:19 ##### failed A_FAIL dev=ttyS0, pid=30582, caller=none,
conn='', name=''


First problem (maybe) can be seen on line 4: "can't get group 'modem'".
Where is that coming from?
The second thing (and probably the source of my troubles) is near the
end: "cannot set controlling tty [...]". What does that mean? And... how
can I fix it?

Thanks for any hint!
