- If you look in the /etc/ttys file you'll see lines that look like:
-
- ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
- ttyb "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
- ttyda "/usr/etc/getty D9600" unknown off
- ttydb "/usr/etc/getty D9600" unknown off
-
- If you change an "off" to an "on" you'll enable getty for that
- port. (Don't enable both ttyX and ttydX!) Then do a kill -1 1
- to force init to reload.
