Problem: OpenBSD 4.2 on i386 Serial port /dev/cua00 connected to the console port on a firewall. I need to catch all text output from the serial port to a file. The process doing this must survive a loss of network. The box is running headless. I have tried simple things like cat and buffer, but these processes exit after one or two lines of output. I need a process that will run until interrupted, and that doesn't need a controlling session.
Google searches on this yield a lot of noise about redirecting console output to a serial port. _________________________ OpenBSD is the _only_ operating system that takes security as seriously as it should be taken.
