Hi,
Below is the default /etc/inittab from a Centos 4.3 machine:
I need to add a line like this,
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
as I have on my Debian server, to enable my Console server to communicate
across a serial/ console cable in my data center.
Can someone tell me the proper syntax to this line in Centos? Because
when I try the line used in my Debian server on the Centos box I get
errors like:
"-L not a supported option" or "/sbin/getty does not exist"
