Hi Admins,
FC4 on HP Proliant
I had a problem today where users couldn't login to the telnet
application they use. In the end a reboot solved it. I noticed that
there were a lot of errors in the messages file:
Jul 29 04:00:07 mgetty[7424]: init chat failed, exiting...:
Interrupted system call
Jul 29 04:00:07 mgetty[7424]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0,
pid=7424
Jul 29 04:00:52 mgetty[7472]: init chat failed, exiting...:
Interrupted system call
Jul 29 04:00:52 mgetty[7472]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0,

Jul 29 04:01:38 mgetty[7533]: init chat failed, exiting...:
Interrupted system call
Jul 29 04:01:38 mgetty[7533]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0,
pid=7533
and in mgetty.log.ttyS0:
07/31 11:14:29 yS0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK'
07/31 11:14:29 yS0 init chat timed out, trying force-init-chat
07/31 11:14:53 yS0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK'
07/31 11:14:53 yS0 init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system
call
In the past ttyS0 was used (with a modem) as a dial-in terminal but
it hasn't been used in over a year. From my searches I suspect I need
to disable this now.
Will commenting out the lines in/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config do
it. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
port ttyS0
debug 4
data-only y
Any thought appreciated? Thanx,
Dp.
