RedHat 5.2 and settings up a BBS using mgetty

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

Hi

I am trying to setup a BBS on RedHat 5.2 and have got it
95% working.

One of the last things I am trying to get working is it to
login without asking for a username.

It's going to sit in the corner of the office so customers
can dial into and download various bit's of software.

I have setup mgetty. mgetty-1.1.14-5.i386.rpm

The First time I dial the modem I get something like

"???????????????????ίΑιζ?ώ"

The Seconds Time I dial the modem I get

"Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo)
Kernel 2.0.36 on an i586


localhost.localdomain login:"

What I would like it to do is dial in first time and login as say user
Fred and run a program.  Can anyone explain what files I would need to
edit on RedHat 5.2 and what changes I would
need to make

Thanks

Clive
