I have a modem on the serial port of my PI and find that sometimes users
hang up without logging off. Is there a way to get the PI to kill the
login process when the line is disconnected?
This has only happened twice, so I don't know whether it is related, but
on both occasions I found the console displaying the message:
core file access error
and on one occasion this was followed by about 100 lines of:
bufcall: could not allocate stream event
Neither message tells me very much!
This is on a 4D/25 running 3.3.1.

Use a 5 or 7-wire cable to connect DCD, put the getty on /dev/ttym* or /dev/ttyf*, and use a modem that can be and is configured to drop DCD when there is no carrier. Vernon Schryver, vjs@sgi.com
