| Summary: The getty and uugetty programs. | |
The getty_ps package contains the getty and uugetty programs, basic programs for accomplishing the login process on a Best Linux system. Getty and uugetty are used to accept logins on the console or a terminal. Getty is invoked by the init process to open tty lines and set their modes, to print the login prompt and get the user's name, and to initiate a login process for the user. Uugetty works just like getty, except that uugetty creates and uses lock files to prevent two or more processes from conflicting in their use of a tty line. Getty and uugetty can also answer a modem for dialup connections, but mgetty is recommended for that purpose.
