The program is an abomination before God, mostly because by having a complete open present prevents you from using the port bidirectionally. The mgetty program should ensure that the controlling tty for itself is the port being opened, and it should catch SIGHUP. For most BSD like behaviour, this means setting it up before the port open. Check out the sources to the real getty to see what I mean. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
