In the ol days, I did this in inittab

#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty /dev/ttyS1 -x 5

now I nave no inittab... what do I do?

Ya see? That's why I don't upgrade from Dapper. :)

It sounds like you're an old-timer like me...I used to *always* have
a serial terminal around, and for about two decades, could tell you the
pinouts you need on various serial devices.

Not to get too off-track, but is there some reason you don't use the
networking? You can direct the 'console' messages five ways from Friday...


I am trying to setup something similar to:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router

What I am really trying to do is make a bridge that will let a normal wifi AP be
the 'remote' side of a bridge. (I should just go buy an AP that will let me
configure it as a bride, but that's no fun :)

as I try things that don't work quite right, I keep loosing my ssh session, and
sometimes any/all networking. I tried adding a 2nd nic just for getting the
configuration working, but I would loose my connection to it too.
