If I try to login via the COM1 port I get the usual login prompt to which I enter my username but instead of being prompted for the password as normal I just get the login prompt all over again! Now my ttys file has tty00 set at 38400 and this is defined in gettytab but I don't know where else to look for this problem??? Any help, suggestions, RTFM's greatly appreciated.
