Summary: Trouble in gettyland
Keywords: NetBSD getty Amiga

 tried cu from the console on day one after setting tty00 to on in stty.
On day two I again tried cu -s 38400 -l tty00 and still was able to grab
the port. Day three comes along and right after login and password I see
my modem flashing its transmit and recieve leds. I think this is not good.
Cu responds with permission denied, line busy. So who has the line? ps -j
tells of .../libexec/getty -s. I try killing the pesky bugger but another
starts on the line as if spawned from the loins of a deamon. The question
is: How do I gain back control of the serial port?

( Isn't unix grand 8^)  ) Any help will be greatly appreciated.
