$sudo stty -a < /dev/ttyS2
bash: /dev/ttyS2: Permission denied
$sudo stty -a -F /dev/ttyS2
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;
I get the same in rxvt, but not in xterm. I see your point. I
originally understood that you meant -F is not working at all, not that
it works erroneously.
My the permissions for /dev/ups -> /dev/ttyS2 are:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 4, 66 Jun 4 13:54 /dev/ttyS2
How do I get the < option to work?
