Hi...
I'm having problems with uugetty that I think are just
a lack of options (anyone have a man page for uugetty?)
In my inittab, I have '/etc/uugetty 2400 ttys0'. The
uugetty is the one that comes with the SLS distribution. If I
respawn it (using sysvinit), it creates the lock file right away
and keeps sending login sequences to the modem.
Now, from experience, my understanding of uugetty is that
it shouldn't do this :) The lock file shouldn't be created until
after someone dials in...shouldn't it?
What I'm figuring, after doing 'strings /etc/uugetty | more'
is that I'm missing one or more options. Could someone tell me
what command I should be using for this, in order to do dialin/dialout?
If I look at the strings output, I get a 'section' that
is headed by 'command line values:' that contain:
-C - connect
-d - defname
-h - no hangup
-r - waitchar
-t - timeout
-w - waitfor
The big problem is that there is no man page for this, there
knowning exactly what the options mean for a couple of them (ie. -C)
is a little elusive :(
Thanks...
