SCO 5 and Getty

Our medical practice has inherited an SCO 5 box with a practice management program, medical manager, installed on the box that we need to access on our Windows network. Boots fine and I can login with root no problem. Problem is, I can't get it to do anything because of these getty error messages. From what I can see, getty manages terminals, serial ones I guess. There are no serial devices connected to the server. I tried to comment out the references to getty in the inittab file but the error messages kept displaying while trying to edit the file using vi. I have 2 questions, (1) is there a way to kill the getty process all together so I can edit the file? and (2) do you know of any good programs that will serve terminal connections over TCP/IP?

Thanks,

Don

Can anyone give me a relatively simple definition of what a "getty" is? Are there multiple getty processes or types of getty processes? or is there just one? What does getty do in relation to a tty or pty? Thanks to all who respond.

glutbuttonboxfunc

glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT)					       GLUT						  glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT)

NAME

       glutButtonBoxFunc - sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window.

SYNTAX

       void glutButtonBoxFunc(void (*func)(int button, int state));

ARGUMENTS

       func	 The new button box callback function.

DESCRIPTION

       glutButtonBoxFunc  sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window. The dial & button box button callback for a window is
       called when the window has dial & button box input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates dial  &  button
       box button presses. The button parameter will be the button number (starting at one). The number of available dial & button box buttons can
       be determined with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_BUTTON_BOX_BUTTONS). The state is either GLUT_UP or GLUT_DOWN indicating whether the callback was
       due to a release or press respectively.

       Registering  a  dial & button box button callback when a dial & button box device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this
       case, no dial & button box button callbacks will be generated.

       Passing NULL to glutButtonBoxFunc disables the generation of dial & button box button callbacks. When a new window is created,  no  dial  &
       button box button callback is initially registered.
