:> 1) I think pretty much any version of getty (plain getty, mingetty,
:> agetty), although I'm not familiar w/ them all, I think they should all
:> have a -l option to let you change the login program.
:
:I tried to use agetty, but that was core dumping, so now I'm back to
:getty. It appears that my version of getty (RH6.0) does not have the -l
:option, but it does allow you to replace the default /bin/login with
:whatever command you want to enter (LOGIN=whatever in /etc/conf.getty).
:BUT, getty is the program that is prompting for the username, not
:/bin/login. So, what I've done so far is:
:
:replace the login command with my own script which contains:
:
:#!/bin/bash
:rlogin -l username host
:
:that way, the end user (a vending machine, in case you were wondering),
:sees the login prompt from the terminal server, and the password prompt
:from the Solaris box that is being rlogged into.
:
:So all of this seems like it will work in theory, the only problem I'm
:having now is getting the modems to properly talk to each other.. which
:has been pretty difficult because I don't have the specs on the modems in
:the vending machines. And when I try replacing the init string on the
:modem in the Linux terminal server, by adding an INIT=ATblahblah command
:to /etc/conf.getty, getty continuously respawns all by itself. I'm
:guessing its just crashing or something..
:
:But anyway, Darxus & Lord_Dark, thank you very much for your help.. its
:definitely been pointing me in the right direction..
