| |
| This is a SYSV/SunOS4 getty program with useful features for hardwired |
| and dial-in tty lines. |
| |
| - The program adapts the tty modes to parity bits and to erase, kill |
| end-of-line and upper-case characters when it reads a login name. |
| |
| - The baud rate can be established by BREAK character processing and by |
| parsing the CONNECT status messages from Hayes-compatible modems. |
| |
| Other features: RTS/CTS flow control (SunOS4, suggested by John Harkin, |
| <jh@moon.nbn.com>), alternate login program, does not use /etc/gettytab |
| or /etc/gettydefs. |
| |
| The program works without modification under System V release 2 and |
| SunOS 4.1/4.1.1. It probably also works with later System V releases. |
| |
| In the Makefile you will have to specify whether diagnostics should be |
| reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all error |
| reports go directly to /dev/console. |
| |
| The command-line interface was cleaned up a bit; it is slightly |
| incompatible with earlier agetty versions. |
