Hi,

I'm having some trouble using the getty program.  In fact, to 
tell the truth, I can't get it to work at all, and I can't even 
find it.  Am I supposed to have a getty file somewhere.  I have 
my gettytab, my ttys, and others.  However when I try to include 
some getty commands in my /etc/ttys I get error messages saying 
that it couldn't "execute getty '/etc/getty' on /dev/tty10a"  
which is my digiboard dev file (tty10a - p)

Could someone possibly email me some info on this.  I would 
appreciate it quite a bit.


Brent
