S1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1 Notice the "respawn", which restarts the process when it dies. Getty's are one-shot deals. They listen, and then they spawn a "login" and then they die. Now, an entry like this (athough commented out) should have been placed in your inittab when you installed the mgetty package. - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
