You'll want /s

What's a clean simple way to configure a RedHat 7.2 system
to totally replace the video care, monitor, and keyboard
with a serial console?

Well, I had another try with the full append line you use, ie

Thanx for all the input. The extra tty0 is helpful if you want to be able to
get kernel output on the local console. Right, I missed that. And the "S0"
entry indeed works fine as well.
So you are telling the *getty doesn't make the difference. What probably does

Hey all,
We added serial console support to some RH 7.2 system and now they

Seems to be the concensus that I'm not going to get away from running getty

setting up a serial console mention this - they just suggest that you should

Okay
I'm trying to setup a system with a serial console and mostly everything has
worked as expected.
With minicom running at 9600 and using software flow control I can see and
control the lilo prompt. I see the kernel messages and the SysV init
messages. In multiuser mode getty star
I used Kermit and it worked great.

Minicom'll do that too. Before you connect the serial cable, remove
the modem initialization string, set the baud rate to 9600-N-8-1 (at
least that's what our Ciscos, Sun E250, and Ultra 10 want), set the
port as appropriate, save the setup with a new name (serial.dfl, for

Minicom (at first glance) appears to be more of a modem dialer. What

Hello,
If I want to have a serial console connection via a null modem cable
between my two linux boxes, what is the best program to use on box A to
connect to box B, if box B already has serial console support compiled in
the kernel? Neither box has X windows installed.
