From: utzoo!decvax!ittvax!tpdcvax!bobvan Newsgroups: net.unix-wizards Title: More getty questions Article-I.D.: tpdcvax.154 Posted: Mon Sep 13 09:37:52 1982 Received: Tue Sep 14 01:58:30 1982 Is there any good reason why getty (4.1BSD) doesn't set CRMOD until just before it forks login? Life would be a lot easier for daemons that want to write to the console if CRMOD was set in both the "iflags" and "fflags". If this has some real value, perhaps only the console (type "4") could be changed. Can anyone explain this? Bob Van Valzah (...!decvax!ittvax!tpdcvax!bobvan)
