Re: Getty ports - dumb question

[Lazaro.Salem@rf.no]

 I hope its a typo since
 ttyN is not the same as ttySN (N=0,1,....etc)
 e.g., terminals vs. serial lines.

Said that, by default I had more that the really 
existing serial lines (ttySN) configured
To fix that edit the file you'll get after


# find /etc | xargs grep tty

I remember editing that file as recommended in it. 
Bruce: That could be part of the installation process in 
Debian 1.2 maybe.

I did a ps and found these getty ports running:

186   2 S     0:00 /sbin/getty 9600 tty2
187   3 S     0:00 /sbin/getty 9600 tty3
188   4 S     0:00 /sbin/getty 9600 tty4 
189   5 S     0:00 /sbin/getty 9600 tty5 
190   6 S     0:00 /sbin/getty 9600 tty6

I only have 2 serial ports ttyS0 and ttyS1. 
Should these getty ports be running?
How are these ports accessed?  
Are they physical RS-232 ports?
