The manual is decidedly lacking in this area. I have just printed out getty.c and was about to study it to check what the format of /etc/gettydefs is under minix compared with System V.x, when I saw this message. I'll continue to study getty.c, but why not ask the "net" as well ... Does anybody have a working /etc/gettydefs? Preferably for MacMinix on a MacPlus running a Racal-Vadic VI2422S, but not necessarily for that combination. What problems did you encounter? /etc/gettydefs can be a pain on any unix!

Ever since V1.3, MINIX has been leaning more and more towards SystemV. Did you ever count the number of non-V7 utils in MINIX? To use getty(1M) on MINIX, do: # ln /etc/getty /etc/uugetty and change "Xf1" to "2f1" in /etc/ttys ^ ^ or use the new INIT I posted, which uses (yes, also non-V7) /etc/inittab . Fred.

This is exactly what I did and I now have a working /etc/gettydefs. I have not tried it with a modem yet but it certainly works with a terminal on tty1. The format is as follows: label_1# flags1# flags2# login_prompt# label_2# # label_2# flags1# flags2# login_prompt# label_3# # etc. etc. Lines beginning # are ignored. I had to make a few changes to getty.c as well but then I always do things the hard way :-) If you want any more details, email me direct.
