Got a minor problem, in that I can't get *anything* logged in via either
serial port(s).  I get the "login:" prompt, then "password:" prompt, and
it dies.  I've looked at the FAQ's, the handbook, asked questions, read
the man pages, and still nothing.  /etc/ttys are configured for std.19200,
the rc.serial file has been tried default and with it in use.  Ummmm..
What am I missing -- oh yeah, the passwords are good -- I can't even login
myself!

Any pointers as to what or where I need to look?

Thanks...
