Serial ports question...

[Karl Ferguson <karl@tower.net.au>]

Hi Everyone.

I just decided to install an old Stallion Technologies 4 port serial card I
had for fun and to test it with dialup lines - it's the 'Brumby' version.
While the card detects under Linux fine, and users can log in and work
perfectly as it were a normal serial port, I get this from the wtmp (via a 'w'):

userx    ttyS0     1:28pm  154:32    0:00    0:00 -bash
usery    ttyE0     3:24pm   35:18    0:00   ?    -
userz    ttyE1     3:44pm   15:23    0:00   ?    -

It seems that it doesn't recognise the end parts for this.  Is there any
particular reason why - or could it be a bug?  I'm beta testing the frozen
rex distribution (which I might add is very stable) with my own 2.0.25.

Regards,

...Karl
