Patch to fix mgetty 1.1.9 login support for Solaris 2.5.1 (fwd)

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

Hi mgetty-list,

can someone out there verify this? This is the first report I got about
this, and I *think* I remember some succcess report on Solaris systems
without changes needed...

(Sounds like a parity problem, but I can't imagine that /bin/login
should be so daft and touch the tty settings concerning parity).

John: please make sure that you use 8N1 (no parity!) on the *CALLING*
end as well. This could very well be the cause for the problem.

Subject: Patch to fix mgetty 1.1.9 login support for Solaris 2.5.1
Content-Type: text

The following change was needed in order to succesfully login to
a Sun SPARCstation 2 running Solaris 2.5.1 with a Zyxel 2864.
Without the patch the system always rejects the entered password
with a message indicating that the password was incorrect.
