hi guys, i've been taking a look at logging in over the serial but am encountering some problems. I've enabled console over serial for the kernel, and am running agetty over the serial to accept logins: agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100 When i call up my terminal program (in this case hyperterminal (no flames pls)) i see the prompt and proceed to login. The problem is, i keep getting a "Login incorrect" message - even if i know that my pass is correct! (I login with the same name and pass on keyboard and monitor and i get through) It doesnt seem to be a case with the login binary, since both mingetty (which is what is used for the virtual console) and agetty both use this same binary. It doesnt seem to be a problem with hyperterm as well, since i set the terminal emulation to vt100 (i've also tried with "auto detect") One strange thing (that i've yet to figure out) is that the moment i hit "enter" after entering the user id at the terminal, i will automatically logout from the shell from which i launched agetty! Has anybody tried logging in over the serial and succeeded? I am kind of stumped right now and would certainly appreciate some help. thanks -jf -- "It's an extraordinary world!" - jfsworld <at> fastmail.fm -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
