vgetty file locking

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I run vgetty from inittab in this way:
S1:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/vgetty -s 38400 modem

modem is a symlink to /dev/ttyS1.
The problem is that I don't see any lockfile for the modem line in /var/lock/

Furthermore if the line is already used by another process (ie pppd which 
always creates /var/lock/LCK..modem) vgetty doesn't care about this and it 
takes control of the line..

Any suggestions?
ciao,
