That's what i thought, too. I got my /etc directory from Ray/Roland's example tarball. In all fairness, they say to modify it for your own system, but i never did modify the inittab file. Oddly enough, everything seems to work the way it is. (well, if it doesn't, i haven't had something obvious pointing back to the inittab file) I have attached the current /etc/inittab to the end of this mail. When i tried putting a 1-digit id field at the beginning, the getty process didn't spawn. That puzzled me, as i also thought the id field was required, and i had read about the 4-digit limit. I have been using the attached inittab file (the uncommented parts) as-is for about six months now. The past hour i've been combing through the Config.h file in Busybox and Tinylogin, looking for anything i may have missed. Haven't found anything obvious, yet. cheers, cam (please note that ttyS* is a symbolic link to ttyAM*. i can use either) # the #-character is a comment ::sysinit:/etc/rc ::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n ::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n ::respawn:-/bin/sh #::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAM0 115200 vt100 #this spawns, but my console is on ttyAM0 #::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAM1 115200 vt100 #this spawns, TIOCSPGRP error #::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt100 #this spawns, TIOCSPGRP error #ttyS1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt100 #this does not spawn #i can run this by hand from the console and it spawns, but causes a segfault #when attempting login _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm Please visit the above address for information on this list.
