I'm in search of the source code to an intelligent getty.
Before I run off half-cocked and write my own, I thought
I'd query the net to see if someone has already done it.
Here is my wish list for the "perfect" getty. It should:
o Work well with intelligent modems
o Perform speed recognition & auto bauding -
It should recognize that the phone is ringing
and log that fact. Determine what speed the
caller connected with the modem by reading the
modem responses and then properly set the port
for that speed. (no breaks needed)
o Handle the login process
o Validate login id and passwd.
o Log invalid attempts
o Set the user environment HOME, MAIL etc...
o Allow initialization of the modem each time the Carrier
is dropped using any of the following [string|file|program].
I would like to be able to send a string like
"ATZ\r", or maybe a file containing an sequence
of commands. Even better, I'd like to be able
to specify a program name that will handle the
initialization.
o Allow for an alternate login prompt to be displayed using any
of the following [string|file|program]
o Provide dial in/out on same line.
Probably what I need is a wrapper proram that
will work with uucp, cu, etc... It could
communicate with the getty program and let it know
when to stop and start.
o Work in a System V environment on a UNIX-PC
This is the most important item of all.
Have I missed anything? I'm aware of "uutty" and it's
almost exactly what I want. But ...
Thanks in advance.
