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.

SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)				      systemd-getty-generator					SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates serial-getty@.service on the kernel console(s), if they can function
       as ttys and are not provided by the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer
       consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it will instead
       enable console-getty.service for /dev/console, and container-getty@.service instances for additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by
       the container manager (see Container Interface[1]). This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless
       of which environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line
       argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[2] for more information
       on the console= kernel parameter.

       systemd-getty-generator implements systemd.generator(7).

       Further information about configuration of gettys can be found in systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and
       Elsewhere)[3].
