TTYS(M)                  XENIX System V                   TTYS(M)



     Name
          ttys - Login terminals file.

     Description
          The /etc/ttys file contains a list of the device special
          files associated with possible login terminals, and defines
          which files are to be opened by the init(M) program on
          system start-up.

          The file contains one or more entries of the form

               state  mode  name

          The name must be the filename of a device special file. Only
          the filename may be supplied, the path is assumed to be
          /dev.  If state is ``1'', the file is enabled for logins; if
          ``0'', the file is disabled.  The mode is used as an
          argument to the getty(M) program.   It defines the line
          speed and type of device associated with the terminal.  A
          list of arguments is provided in getty(M).

          For example, the entry ``1mtty02'' means the serial line
          tty02 is to be opened for logging in at 9600 baud.

     Files
          /etc/ttys

     Notes
          The /etc/ttys file should only be edited when the system is
          in system maintenance mode.  If it is edited when the system
          is in multi-user mode, the changes will not take effect
          until the system is rebooted, or until an enable or disable
          command is given. See the XENIX Operations Guide.
