From: minyard@crchh7b9 (Corey Minyard) Subject: CLOCAL in 0.99.5 Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1993 02:43:12 GMT
After having some problems with dial-in/dial-out with 0.99.5, I did some
kernel searching and found what I think was a problem. The open for the
first getty that ran would return without CD. If I killed it, the next
getty that ran would work fine.
It turns out in the routine initialize_termios() in kernel/chr_drv/tty_io.c
that CLOCAL is only set for serial ports and no other ttys. The manual I have
says CLOCAL is set for local ports that ignore modem control; so I think
that it should be set for everything but serial ports.
If you are having this problem, removing the CLOCAL from tty_io.c should fix
it. Termio experts out there: Is this the right thing to do?
