Setting databits for ttyu

[j4ck]

Hi,

Is it possible to set databits, flowcontrol, parity and stopbits for e.g. ttyu2?

Have you checked gettytab(5) and termcap(5)?

You know I want to configure e.g. ttyu6 for incoming connections. In order to do so I add the following line to /etc/ttys file:

cuau6   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" cons25  on secure

OK, I can set the line's speed here, but what about the other options? Like databits, stopbits, etc.

I've never done this myself before (well, not on FreeBSD that is, I have used modems quite extensively) but you might want to look into the gettytab(5) manualpage. I came across this critter when reading the getty(5) manual page.

The reason I think this might be able to help you are entries such as these:

     ap      bool    false             terminal uses any parity
     ep      bool    false             terminal uses even parity
     np      bool    false             terminal uses no parity (i.e. 8-bit
                                       characters)
     op      bool    false             terminal uses odd parity
     sp      num     unused            line speed (input and output)

Hope this can help.

How about using the stty command?

Alright, I have added the following entry to the /etc/gettytab file:

test.std.115200:\
        :ep:sp#4800:tc:Pc

And also I have changed the /etc/ttys file:

cuau3   "/usr/libexec/getty test.std.115200"    cons25  on secure

I expect the /dev/cuau3 device to use even parity and 4800 as speed, but when I check the device properties using stty -f /dev/cuau3, only the speed changes to 4800 and the parity value does not change.

Here's the output of stty -f /dev/cuau3 after applying the changes using the kill -HUP 1 command.

speed 4800 baud;
