I originally didn't want to play w/ it because you had to set the login program in a seperate config file. But it looks like that may actually be good. The suggested /etc/inittab line is: T1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1 (I'd skip that -x0 for now, it turns off debugging) And the default last line in /etc/mgetty/login.config is: * - - /bin/login @ Try replacing it with: * nobody telnet /usr/bin/telnet -8 host I think this may just do what you want. Execute telnet as user nobody (instead of root) to host. I noticed the -8 in the login.config examples, and noticed that it attempts to do an 8 bit clean telnet, which would be useful if you were trying to do a zmodem transfer through it or something. But be careful, be sure your console logins aren't using mgetty, or *all* your login prompts will be replaced with telnets to the remote host! (I think). I tried doing this on one of my virtual terminals, but it seemed to really want to talk to a modem. I noticed that mgetty seemed much more aimed at modems than getty. Maybe it'll work. __________________________________________________________________ PGP fingerprint = 03 5B 9B A0 16 33 91 2F A5 77 BC EE 43 71 98 D4 darxus@op.net / http://www.op.net/~darxus "There is no spoon." ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://plug.nothinbut.net Announcements - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
