To start a session on a 3270 tty I use "lab1:12345 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty0700" in /etc/inittab.
What do I use for the /dev/tub0700? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/12/04 04:21PM >>> Hi, Richard As to /dev/3270/tub* being block devices, that's new to me. Could you point me more exactly to where you saw this? The 3270 driver uses two major numbers, 227 and 228, for line-mode and fullscreen operations. Both are character devices. The script /usr/src/linux{,-2.4}/Documentation/s390/config3270.sh generates /tmp/mkdev3270, which generates character device special files /dev/3270/ttyfoo and /dev/3270/tubfoo respectively, foo a 4-character device address. Minor number 0 is used only with major 228 and defines the generic fullscreen device /dev/3270/tub; 0 is not used with major 227. To find for yourself what devices the 3270 driver knows about, give these two commands: echo what=config > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 cat /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 Use the address at the CONSOLE line for your console device. The line will read: <device> CONSOLE <minor> If you use the above scripts to configure your 3270s, you should expect to see /dev/3270/tub<device> as major 228, minor <minor>. If you don't want to, or don't have them available, do this: mkdir /dev/3270 mknod /dev/3270/tub<device> c 228 <minor> Hope this helps.

For instance, if your console's at 0009, use "ned -T >/dev/3270/tub0009".
