If you want to use a serial line as a dial-in port, you have to enable
|
|
a getty process on this port. However, some getty
|
|
implementations aren't really suitable for this, because you usually
|
|
want to use a serial port for dialing in and out. You therefore have
|
|
to make sure to use a getty that is able to share the line with
|
|
other programs like uucico, or minicom. One program that
|
|
does this is uugetty from the getty_ps package. Most
|
|
distributions have it; check for uugetty in your
|
|
/sbin directory. Another program I am aware of is Gert
|
|
Doering's mgetty, which also supports reception of facsimiles.
|
|
You can also obtain the latest versions of these from
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu as either binary or source.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Explaining the differences in the way uugetty and mgetty
|
|
handle logins is beyond the scope of this little section; for more
|
|
information, please refer to the Serial HOWTO by Grag Hankins, as well
|
|
as the documentation that comes along with getty_ps and
|
|
mgetty.
