Paterra) Newsgroups: comp.unix.xenix Subject: problems with ungetty Message-ID: Date: 19 Aug 90 17:12:14 GMT Sender: news@cs.odu.edu Organization: Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA Lines: 22 I'm having some problems with using a phone liune for both dial in and dial out. Here is the set up sco xenix 2.2.3, ps/2 model 80 ('386) anvil stallion 16 port intel. card 2 telephone lines with hayes comp. modems Ok, The two lines, tty400 and tty401, are both enabled and they re owned by uucp and in group uucp. When nobody is calling out and I look at the permissions, theyar are both set for -rw--w--w . When ungetty is run (by either pcomm or uucico) the line is shown as in use. When I type ungetty at the unix prompt and check the return code, it shows that hte line is successfully disabled, but if I then do a ps, I see that a getty is still running. ungetty is owned by uucp. I tryed making it owned by root, but that did no good either. So what is wrong? What can I do? -- Frank Paterra paterra@cs.odu.edu
