Hi,

I try to setup a kind of rescue console for a few users of mine. As Jeff 
described in the howto and in his book, there should be a simple setup of 
connecting to uml instances with each other.

master_uml -> slave_uml

User connects via ssh to master_uml. The /etc/passwd there points to a screen 
/dev/tty which is connected to a tty(s) on the slave_uml - resulting in the 
login screen of the slave_uml shown to the user loggin into the master_uml.

I always started my uml instances by invoking con=pts con0=fd:0,fd:1 and an 
entry into the /etc/inittab about

0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyS0

That worked well for attaching a screen, but it won't work correctly with the 
above setup. Every time I try to attach a pts, there's an error message about 
fd:0 being assigned twice.

Could anyone please help me on this issue? I'm hopeless after trying all kinds 
of configs for days.

How should I setup the inittab in the instance correctly and how should I set 
the cmdline to invoke the instance? I would like to

- reach the instance's login from the host by screen 
- reach the instance's login from another uml instance when connecting to the 
other instance

Many thanks in advance,

Karl
