Hello

Today I've been trying to get teh eial port working. The cable is ok.
I've edited /etc.ttys, setting tty1 to 1a1.
Then I fooled around with rc, sty and getty a little. I put a line in my
rc: 'getty </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>/dev/tty2 &', and that works, only if
the user logs off, the getty is gone.
What's the correct way to do it ??
And while upgrading, i've been trying to get last/users/who to work. But
every time I get a 'invalid wtmp file' and multiple entries in the
who command. What's wrong ??

Greetings, Rob
