For the scenario where you have two openbsd hosts, one connected to

use when connecting using tip(1) from the first to a console on the
second?


This works very well for me on i386;

2 null modem serial cables, cross connected thusly:

box-a pccom0 connected to box-b pccom1
box-b pccom0 connected to box-a pccom1

This on both:

$ cat /etc/boot.conf
stty com0 9600
set tty com0

And this too on both boxes:

$ rcsdiff -r1.1 /etc/remote
===================================================================
RCS file: /etc/RCS/remote,v
retrieving revision 1.1
diff -r1.1 /etc/remote

Then, on either box, I can do this to get to the console on its neighbour:

$ sudo tip tty01
