MikeE I had just the same probs running getty that came with sls .99pl5, so
I upgraded thinking that maybe getty was the prob, but it was the
MODEM SETUP which is / was the problem.
First: Make sure that the modem only gets DCD high on connect, on mine, it
was DCD high all the time, thus the modem would chat with uugetty forever. 95%
chance this was your problem.
Second: MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE NO MNP5 or v.42bis verbose connect statii
coming through. Otherwise, you will get a connection to the calling modem,
and garbage.
Second.1: Are you using uugetty?
Second.2: Are you aware that the initialization files changed VERY dramitacally?
Third: Is your /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS0 in the right place?
Fourth: Put DEBUG=777 in your /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS0 to get a very, very
verbose debug file located in /tmp/uugetty:ttyS0 this should tell you a
huge gob of information.
Five:In the getty 2.0.7 tar file, there was a directory of ./Examples
That contained a file of getty.autoanswer------>>>
I suggest that you build your /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS0 from this.
Sixth: You might consider putting a DELAY=1, and a WAITFOR=\r\r at
the end of your uugetty.ttyS0 to eliminate the chance of your origional
problem reoccurring. This will give just a brief 1 second pause, and require
you to punch <enter> a couple of times to get a login: prompt.
I hope this works for you, I had just the same problem, and spent 10 hours
scratching my ass trying to figg'ir it out.
Contact me if this doesn't work, I'll be glad to help.
