I have my wyse WY-55/ES terminal connected to ttyS1, so here my
/etc/inittab entry:
+-------------------------------------------------
|S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT19200 vt220
+-------------------------------------------------

mine to ;-)

That means you trust your serial connection: computer <-> terminal (as you
send raw, easy to sniff data) and allow root to log on there directly on
login prompt.

my /etc/gettydefs contains:
+-------------------------------------------------
| 19200# B19200 CS8 CRTSCTS # B19200 SANE -ISTRIP HUPCL CRTSCTS #@S login:
+-------------------------------------------------
and I changed /etc/rc.d/rc.local to contain:

Mine: vt 220-7, 19200, ISO LATIN-1 char set.
