Hi,
This problem is a simple one really but I'm not really experienced enough as
a sys admin to solve it and my university wont give me the money for a course!
Anyway my problem..
The workstation is a networked Alpha 3000 300LX. I installed powerchute and
indicated it was on the network, I accepted all the default options. When I
run xpowerchute it hangs at 'Searching for Powerchute Servers on the Network'.
I think its probably the configuration of the serial port that is the
problem. I am using port /dev/tty00, and for the inittab I guessed a setup
for I've very little help in terms of manuals. Here is a copy of inittab
:0:wait:/sbin/rc0 off < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
fs:23:wait:/sbin/bcheckrc < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
kls:Ss:sysinit:/sbin/kloadsrv -f & < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
sysconfig:Ss:sysinit:/sbin/init.d/autosysconfig start < /dev/console > /dev/cons
ole 2>&1
update:23:wait:/sbin/update > /dev/console 2>&1
it:23:wait:/sbin/it < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
kmk:3:wait:/sbin/kmknod > /dev/console 2>&1
s2:23:wait:/sbin/rc2 < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
cons:1234:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
00:234:off:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty00 9600
The last line is the one I added for /dev/tty00
Page 50 of the powerchute manual describes setting port to disable logins.
Can you spot what I have done wrong?
Thanks for any help
Stephen
