I have a debian 1.3 box that I want to access using a serial port as a
terminal. I ran getty with the command "getty 38400 /dev/ttyS0" while I
had hyperterminal on the machine that I want to connect from. It gives
the login prompt, and I enter my username, and it asks for a password.
I type my password, but it echoes it. Pressing enter after I enter my
password has no effect, and I cannot log in.
Thanks,
Chris

It sounds like your getty has several flaws, for one, it should not
echo your password.

Always run getty from /etc/inittab, never from the command line.Quote:>I have a debian 1.3 box that I want to access using a serial port as a

(Which is true for *ANY* getty).

The problem occurs if you do not run *getty from /etc/inittab but from the
command line, and the controlling tty is messed up -> this confuses login,
which messes up its tty settings.

1. Newbie and problems with getty and serial ports
I am quite new in Linux and have a problem with getty.
I am 'only' trying to connect a dumb terminal with a linux box.
I have test the /etc/gettydefs file and it is correct (well it says the
same that my manual). I have configured the file /etc/rc.d/rc.serial as
the manual says.
if i execute from the console:
/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT9600 vt100
my terminal works fine, so it is not a cabling problem, but when i
logout i cannot log again until i go to the console and execute the
command again.
Then i said, OK i need to respwn it in the /etc/inittab file and i put a
new line on it as:
S1:456:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT9600 vt100
and execute :
init q
My terminal does not work.
Then i reboot the machine, it does not work
If i execute again the line from the console it works again perfectly
until i logout
I am lose
Help
Thanks in advanced
