I tried that but getty just dies after getting the username and respawns asking
for it again. openvt user@hostname works fine though but that is not exactly
what I want. Is there any way of seeing what is going on ? Is there any way of
getting getty & ssh to display verbose messages ?
is there a way of logging onto the remote machine via the network other than
through ssh ?
any thoughts ?
