Hi everyone,

  I confused by my serial console suddenly refusing to work anymore. I had
setup "-P" in boot.config and switched ttyd0 on in /etc/ttys and it was
working perfectly till sometime ago.

If you notice my pa wuax | grep getty  output you can see that there is no
terminal associated with ttydo entry  (pid 27992) also this entry does not
show the s+ flags.

root        193  0.0  0.1   944  532  v7  Is+  18Oct01   0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv7
root      27838  0.0  0.1   944  600  v0  Is+   4:23PM   0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv0
root      27992  0.0  0.1   940  568  ??  I     5:06PM   0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0

The console on the other end of the serial cable just sits and does
nothing.

I even tried a echo "kdjfd" > /dev/cuaao and it prints to the console.
Seems like getty is misbehaving. Here is the line from /etc/ttys:

ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure

Any pointers to why this could be happening?
Thanks for your time,
-ansh
