A non existent process is locking the modem?

I believe mgetty-fax or start-stop-daemon and the /etc/init.d/mgetty-fax script does not handle the port correctly. Does anyone else have it? [03:42:11 /tmp]$ cat /var/lock/LCK..ttyS2 623 [03:43:12 /tmp]$ ps 623 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND [03:43:15 /tmp]$ tail

the init process (PID 1) handles serial connections.. make sure that your /etc/inittab does not contain any uncommented entries related to /dev/ttyS2 and restart inittab (kill -HUP 1) and try again.. nate On Sun, 23 Jan 2000, Shaul Karl wrote: shaulk I believe mgetty-fax or start-stop-daemon
