Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-65
Severity: minor
/etc/inittab:
# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last
# characters of the device (after "tty").
(...)
# Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)
#
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
Shouldn't this be S0 instead of T0?
