terminal log in problem solved.

[dave m mehler <awesome-dave1 juno com>]

Hello,
	I'm posting the solution to my terminal problem in case it's useful to
someone. The problem is I could log in just fine from the main console,
but when I tried to log in as root via a serial terminal I was asked for
a password, which I had not set. Adding the ttyS in /etc/securetty did
not solve this problem, but thanks to a list member, this worked. In your
/etc/inittab file the agetty line for your serial terminal, it should
look something like this: abbreviated:
agetty 19200 /dev/ttyS0 vt100
add a -L note the capital l before the speed so the line reads:
agetty -L 19200 /dev/ttyS0 vt100
	Hope this is useful to someone. Thanks to all who contributed
suggestions. It is much appreciated.
Dave.
