I'm trying to get a serial dumb terminal hooked up to my bsd box. I know my terminal works, cause I've tested it elsewhere (and I actually have two terminals, made by Wyse). These are my lines in /etc/ttys: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure which looks fine to me. I had to go in with stty and set the screen size to 80x24. I have getty processes running on the two serial ports, and I know something is working because it echos back anything i type in the terminal (local echo is off). If I kill getty, or reset stty, it doesn't echo. I've even gone so far as hook a scope up to the serial line to verify that data of some sorts is being transmitted to and from the box. The problem? I don't get a login prompt. It's like getty is sensing a connection, but isn't running login. In the handbook and everywhere else I can read, it says just plug it in and turn it on, and it works. Seems simple, but it's not happening for me. I've even tried another bsd machine and I have the same problem. I think I'm missing something simple somewhere, but can't find it. Any ideas?
