It probably also works with later System V releases. + +In the Makefile you will have to specify whether diagnostics should be +reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all error +reports go directly to /dev/console. + +The command-line interface was cleaned up a bit; it is slightly +incompatible with earlier agetty versions. + + Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl) |
