[opensuse] Where is default getty (agetty / mgetty) set??
Listmates, I have a 10.3 server and an 11.0 server. Both are fax servers and are supposed to handle inbound data/ppp connections. The 11.0 box hands the connection off to /usr/sbin/mgetty as it should, but the 10.3 box hands the inbound data calls off to /sbin/agetty. Both boxes have the same mgetty+sendfax and agetty installed. I have searched high and low through /etc/sysconfig and any place else I could think of, but I can't find a setting that controls which getty gets the data calls. I would like the 10.3 box to also hand the data calls to mgetty, but so far I'm striking out. Where is this setting hidden?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Normally it's configured in /etc/inittab Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yep, But here we have hylafax to thank -- which is the issue I now suspect. The /etc/inittab entry on both boxes is: mo:35:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 So there must be some switch in hylafax that controls the handoff - damn... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Caveat: This is on my Gentoo office server, not my SUSE laptop, but I suspect the setup is the same. -- Jim

Jim, Thanks, it's the same for openSuSE. I have run faxsetup again and there isn't a way to change it. It must be set as a ./configure option when the package was compiled. I'll look. -- David C.
