I am new in this newsgroup so this might be a trivial problem. I am trying to set up tty2 with a login process. I have PH 1.5 and the manual says that entries in ttys get login processes forked to them. I looked at ttys and saw two entries. What are these numbers (100 & 0f1)??? And what must be added to get tty2 working? When I tried getty it put the login process on the console, though my guess as to what should be in gettydefs may be wrong. Please help! -Joseph Pecquet pecquet@mps.ohio-state.edu

Hi,
Thanks. I had been under the delusion that 'init' was a function
hidden very well somewhere in the kernel.
