Hi,
I don't know if this is a somehow 'known' problem or I am just missing
something...
When I plug a pc or just an old HP terminal on my second serial port
which I configure in ttys to be:
tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure
I can login, use the system, but sometime there is some missing
chars in the prompt. Then, after a few commands, the output
just freeze.
Now, last time, when the ouput froze, I was able to issue a 'ls'
and nothing else.
If I look the processes, ls is zombie 'Z+'.
I tried to kill the shell, but it wouldn't exit, it's now in a
'trying to exit' state 'IEs'.
any hints?
