     UUGETTY(1M)                                           UUGETTY(1M)



     NAME
          uugetty - set terminal type, modes, speed, and line
          discipline

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/uucp/getty [ -h ] [ -t timeout ] [ -r ] line
          [ speed [ type [ linedisc ] ] ]
          /usr/lib/uucp/getty -c file

     DESCRIPTION
          uugetty is identical to getty(1M) but changes have been made
          to support using the line for uucico, cu, and ct; that is,
          the line can be used in both directions.  The uugetty will
          allow users to login, but if the line is free, uucico, cu,
          or ct can use it for dialing out.  The implementation
          depends on the fact that uucico, cu, and ct create lock
          files when devices are used.  When the "open()" returns (or
          the first character is read when -r option is used), the
          status of the lock file indicates whether the line is being
          used by uucico, cu, ct, or someone trying to login.  Note
          that in the -r case, several <carriage-return> characters
          may be required before the login message is output.  The
          human users will be able to handle this slight
          inconvenience.  Uucico trying to login will have to be told
          by using the following login script:

               ""  \r\d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in: . . .

          where the . . . is whatever would normally be used for the
          login sequence.

          An entry for an intelligent modem or direct line that has a
          uugetty on each end must use the -r option.  (This causes
          uugetty to wait to read a character before it puts out the
          login message, thus preventing two uugettys from looping.)
          If there is a uugetty on one end of a direct line, there
          must be a uugetty on the other end as well.  Here is an
          /etc/inittab entry using uugetty on an intelligent modem or
          direct line:

               30:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 tty12 1200

     FILES

     BUGS
          Ct will not work when uugetty is used with an intelligent
          modem such as penril or ventel.
