Can getty be made to initiate some other program instead of /usr/bin/login? The reason why I want to do this is because I would like the getty program to automatically open a binary telnet connection to another machine (where the accounts are) everytime someone rings the modem. 2. I know it can be done with mgetty but I hate mgetty. It's a pain in the ass to set up and the documentation is barely readable. I get as far as a CONNECT 19200 but no prompt. Any help would be appreciated. Dave
