Date: 23 Jun 1995 20:34:49 GMT Organization: Oklahoma City Unix Users Group Lines: 12 Message-ID: <3sf8h9$p6d@romulus.ucs.uoknor.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: okcforum.osrhe.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Could someone PLEASE tell me if it is possible to set up the serial port under NetBSD so that it could be used for both dial out and dial in connections? (i.e. bidirrectional getty) It's very annoying having to edit the /etc/ttys file, kill -1 1 and chmod 666 /dev/tty00 just to be able to start pppd. Surely, there is some way to use port locking? System V had uugetty. Is there in equivalent under NetBSD? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bo Najdrovsky // AmigaOS 3.1/Mac Sys7.1/BSD 4.4 - Courtesy of my A3000 bn@gnu.ai.mit.edu \X/ => join the EGS list: listproc@okcforum.osrhe.edu <= bn@okcforum.osrhe.edu "Who are you, who's so wise in the ways of science?"
