Subject:   serial console com1 to com1 == login race condition?
Message-ID:  <3D53B3E5.5384.276CA6F0@localhost>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have two remote boxes.  My colocation hosts have strung a crossover 
serial cable from com1 to com1 on these boxes.  The idea is that if I 
paint myself into a corner on one box, I can get access to it from 
the other box via the serial cable.

But...

I will need to set up serial consoles on each box in advance of a 
problem arising.  But won't I get a race condition with each box 
thinking the other is trying to login?

[1] - my apologies to those with whom I have already discussed this 
issue.
