[SunOS 4.1.x] Getty aborts with "Interrupted system call"?
faxd answers the phone, determines it's a data call,
and runs getty. Nothing happens for a few seconds, then I get the
following message in syslog:
May 22 15:04:58 hbar getty: /dev/ttya: Interrupted system call
(Relevant line from config file: GettyArgs: "std.%s %l")
A.
I had this problem too until I changed GettyArgs. Try using "std.%s -"
instead of "std.%s %l". This tells getty to use the stdin it was passed
instead of opening the device itself.
Note: Some of the hyperlinks (e.g. for the man pages)
can only work, if the HylaFAX software
and the full documentation are installed on your system.
