- Quick bug report, and workaround. /etc/rc's exit 0 (i.e what happens after
- this) causes an slattach(8) in /etc/netstart to die. It's not getty and it
- is after the exit 0, because I renamed getty -> betty and put a sleep 10
- on the line above rc's exit 0.
-
- I tried at least two slattach lines in /etc/netstart:
-
- slattach /dev/com2 9600
- slattach /dev/com2 9600 < /dev/null > /dev/null
-
- Didn't try
-
- nohup slattach /dev/com2 9600
-
- Workaround:
-
- Manually restart the slattach once you log in.
-
- Misc:
- I spent 3 hours trying to work out why my `network was down'
- because of this :-(. Ifconfig reports sl0 being UP, even with the slattach
- dead. Sigh.
