I've got DELL PowerEdge 1750 with 7.0-RELEASE-p4. I'm running the serial port to a serial console server. I thought I had the right adapter, DB-9 to RJ45, but it's being weird. When I specify, ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure In the /etc/ttys file, the console doesn't work at all. However, when I do this, cuad0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure It seems to work just fine. I think my adapter is close, but there is some signal being lost? Can anyone explain this one? I'm not sure I really understand the difference between a ttyd and cuad device from the paragraph in sio(4). Oh, and do I risk anything breaking by running my console off of a cuad? -- Crist J.
