Hi,
I would like to understand how the shell is tied to the console port. When
an user connects a terminal
to the system via console port, a shell is started and tied to the console
port (/dev/console ?).
Can some someone explain how this whole process works?. It would be great if
you can point

Google for 'controlling terminal'. Advanced
Programming in the Unix Environment by Richard Stevens
is a good book for Unix basics.
