Hi,
  With follow up to my question asked yesterday, is it possible to
  set up FreeBSD box as a terminal server in a way that all the
  getty process running on the dial-in port /dev/ttydX is a script
  that does some fundamental check and exec telnet into the
  host that serves dial-in, or rotate among different hosts, so the
  script needs to remember the state ?

  For example, the getty can be replaced with say dialin-getty :

  #!/bin/sh
  .
  .
  .
  $HOST=...
  # Does some fundamental checking, eg rotate among hosts
  exec telnet $HOST

  Will that be sufficient ?

  Thanks.
