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

acinclude

ACINCLUDE(1)								GPL							      ACINCLUDE(1)

NAME

       acinclude - manual page for ac-archive 0.5.39

SYNOPSIS

       acinclude [OPTIONS] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Generate `acinclude.m4' by scanning `configure.ac' or `configure.in'

       --acdir=DIR
	      directory holding subdirectories with config files

       --help print this help, then exit

       -I     DIR
	      add directory to superdir search list for .m4 files

       .      add current directory as superdir to searchlist which is the default if no -I option was given.

       --output=FILE
	      put output in FILE (default acinclude.m4)

       --print-ac-dir
	      print name of directory with subdirs holding m4 files

       --verbose
	      don't be silent

       --version
	      print version number, then exit

	      Note that unlike aclocal the subdirectories (!!) of the acdir-path are searched for files - the default will find locals as ./*/*.m4
	      and always search for ac-macros installed as share/aclocal/*/*.m4 which may include the macros from ac-archive or from packages that
	      chose  to  install  multiple files into a subdirectory of share/aclocal.	The tool will warn at unresolved symbols starting with AX_
	      just as the original aclocal program did warn at unresolved macros with AC_.
