Hi Admins, FC4 on HP Proliant I had a problem today where users couldn't login to the telnet application they use. In the end a reboot solved it. I noticed that there were a lot of errors in the messages file: Jul 29 04:00:07 mgetty[7424]: init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call Jul 29 04:00:07 mgetty[7424]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=7424 Jul 29 04:00:52 mgetty[7472]: init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call Jul 29 04:00:52 mgetty[7472]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=7472 Jul 29 04:01:38 mgetty[7533]: init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call Jul 29 04:01:38 mgetty[7533]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=7533 and in mgetty.log.ttyS0: 07/31 11:14:29 yS0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 07/31 11:14:29 yS0 init chat timed out, trying force-init-chat 07/31 11:14:53 yS0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 07/31 11:14:53 yS0 init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call In the past ttyS0 was used (with a modem) as a dial-in terminal but it hasn't been used in over a year. From my searches I suspect I need to disable this now. Will commenting out the lines in/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config do it. Or am I barking up the wrong tree? port ttyS0 debug 4 data-only y Any thought appreciated?
