 |
|
Hi all.
I'm running a cobalt RaQ4 server with Gentoo, run's very good but not the serial console.
I configged everything as it should be, on the cobalt as the MIPS gentoo howto say's .. it worked before with a windows serial console client (hyperterminal). But now, a few months later i try again and it doesn't.
It's not working with hyperterminal and only half with minicom (serial console client). With minicom i get a login prompt, so i type the user root .. but then i don't get my pasword prompt, again the login prompt. like this:
| Code: | Welcome to minicom 1.83.1
OPTIONS: History Buffer, F-key Macros, Search History Buffer, I18n
Compiled on Nov 21 2001, 00:35:58.
Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
This is evcob.(none) (Linux i586 2.4.28-gentoo-r9) 23:22:08
evcob login: root
This is evcob.(none) (Linux i586 2.4.28-gentoo-r9) 23:31:50
evcob login: |
This means my config's about the serial console (and client) are correct, right?
/etc/inittab
| Code: | # SERIAL CONSOLES
s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100
#s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS1 vt100 |
/etc/securetty
And the ttyS0 is running:
| Code: | evcob ~ # ps aux | grep ttyS0
root 1236 0.0 0.0 1412 588 tts/0 Ss+ 23:33 0:00 /sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100 |
Minicom:
| Code: | A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0
x B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
x C - Callin Program :
x D - Callout Program :
x E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1
x F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes
x G - Software Flow Control : No |
I searched like 'everything on google', and found nothing on this forum .. realy don't know what i can try next.
Someone has an idea?
Thanks in advanced!

some random ideas :
-man setserial
-permissions of /dev/ttyS0 and/or interference with pam or pam-login |

Any idea on what i could try for changing the perm's on ttyS0? Sorry, i have never done this .. For example, i know what PAM is .. but not how it works. |

| This where some strange problems .. PAM and Shadow where installed at the same time :/ So i unmerged PAM and remerged / updated Shadow .. now and the serial console and the ssh login (wich was also broke) works fine. Since this was a cobalt server i had to put the harddisk in annother pc to boot with it from a gentoo cd, so i could chroot and so on .. Only when i craete a new user i get a STDR error, but i'll fix that in the future to. |
