Hello,
Is anyone using getty on a serial port right now? This may be
i386-specific, but I don't think I've been able to login using a modem
to my system since getty was changed to use termios. Actually, the
problem may not be with getty. After the modem connects, I get the
"NetBSD/ ..." message and the "login:" prompt just fine. After typing
my login name, however, it prints a line of garbage and is, apparently,
hung. It's kind of hard for me to debug this since I'm calling into my
home system and I can't tell what's happening on the system. This is
running a current kernel/getty/login/libutil (but not libc) supped
yesterday night (Thursday). Any ideas? Could libc be the culprit?
