Subject: getty from new SLS release cannot "be "respawned"
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1993 15:19:42 GMT

Since I upgraded the SLS installation from about 0.98pl1 to 0.99pl3 I
have problems with the getty. To be more precise:

The old getty worked well. But the new one comes up only once (and I
can log in), but not for second time, although I have an inittab entry
like "xx:123::respawn:/etc/getty 9600 ttyS1". (Don't know the right
sequence of the parameters for getty because currently I'm not on my
linux box, but both sequences don't work.) Everything works fine as
long as I use the old getty.

My only question is: What's the reason?

Thanx,
