It's in ports, see ports/comms/conserver ports/comms/conserver-com If not, you will have to look for a way to set up someting like the following: - automatic login on local machine (as an unprivileged user) - automatic connection to remote host (perhaps via .profile or somesuch Hmm, there is an 'autologin' entry in my /etc/gettytab, and gettytab(5) explains about the 'al' capability. This allows you to to autologin as a specified user, at least. There is also the 'lo' capability, which controls the program to execute once a name is obtained, usually '/usr/bin/login'. I don't know it it is possible to change this into, say ssh and have the teminal automatically connect to another machine. HTH -- Yours, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
