mgetty prevents calls
This is the first time I have used the list so I hope I don't make a
major faux paux.
I have mgetty 1.1.14-2 on a 2.0 box and am having a strange problem.
With the mgetty statement commented out in the inittab, ppp will dail
out and connect just fine. With the mgetty statement not commented out
ppp fails as per the script below:
Oct 22 16:08:27 fashion pppd[18300]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0

Oct 22 16:12:50 fashion pppd[18300]: Exit.
The lines in the inittab I have used are:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0
and
S0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0
and some varitations of the above.
Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? I'm assuming I have a
mgetty problem and not a ppp problem, but I've been wrong before.
Thanks in advance.
