This is probably worth a mention in the ttys(5) man page. It's one of those things that once you've worked through it, you know, but it's not at all obvious that HUP-ing init applies changes from every other column but NOT any flags changes. I think the wording NetBSD has [1] is decent: "Nota Bene: Sending SIGHUP to init(8) does not change the state of the various tty(4) device flags listed above; the ttyflags(8) program must be run for changes in those flags to take effect on the devices." I'm pretty sure I tried 'local' on some Dell servers but it didn't work for me, on either the physical port or IPMI Serial-over-LAN; 'softcar' did the trick in my case. Without that I get the same issue -- getty only works if the device is also the boot console. Thanks, -Andrew [1] http://man.bsd.lv/NetBSD-9.2/ttys
