Re: Trouble running agetty

[Petr Andrs <xtonda-konf at quick dot cz>]

Aaaah, now it works as well for me, thanks wery much. but I see the trouble.

|NAME
|       agetty - alternative System V/SunOS 4 getty
|
|SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS
|       agetty [-aih1278ELNO] [-n name] [-b banner] [-l login] [-m]
|       [-t timeout] [-e command] [-T term] [-c message] port speed,...
|
|SUNOS 4 SYNOPSIS
|       agetty [-ah1278ELNO] [-n name] [-b banner] [-l login] [-m]
|       [-t timeout] [-e command] [-c message] speed,... port

I bet I tried it without /dev/, but I used System V syntax where port 
name is BEFORE speed and agetty silently swallowed that parameters 
without any complaint.
