I'm trying to get ungetty, dialin and dialout all coordinated, and I'm having a few problems. I've got two modems, one on my voice line, and one on my dialin line. I'd like uucp to use the dialin line first, and only use the voice line if someone is logged into the dialin line. Ungetty does a good job of fixing the getty on the dialin line, but it seems to bomb out if someone is logged into that line without going onto the second dialer device in L-devices. I also like to use kermit to call up other systems. Kermit handles lockfiles in /usr/spool/uucp, but getty and ungetty don't seem to use these. Kermit doesn't tell ungetty to secure the dialin line either. So, what I think I need to do is to get kermit to do a ungetty on a port before it starts to use it, then do the ungetty -r to turn it back on for dialins when it's done. Also, I need some way of creating a lock file when someone logs in on my dialin port, so kermit or uucp won't use that line. Can anyone help me out here? Are better getty programs available which will do this and work under Xenix 2.2.1? Is there something that I'm overlooking? Thanks, Rich Skrenta skrenta@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu skrenta@nuacc.bitnet
