Hi, I'm running Hardy and i want to configure my system for use of IPMI 2.0 Serial over Lan. I want configure Text Console Redirection in singel user mode, so that in case of serious problems i can remotely logging with IPMI view. This is what the manual amongst other things says: Code: c) LINUX OS: (i) Add the following line into /etc/inittab. s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 19200 (ii) Edit /etc/securetty and add ttyS1 Searching through the forums i understand that ubuntu doesnt use inittab anymore but upstart. And that i have to to look in /etc/event.d So i guess that i have to modify rc0. Code: # rc1 - runlevel 1 compatibility # # This task runs the old sysv-rc runlevel 1 ("single-user") scripts. start on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel [!1] console output script set $(runlevel --set 1 || true) if [ "$1" != "unknown" ]; then PREVLEVEL=$1 RUNLEVEL=$2 export PREVLEVEL RUNLEVEL fi exec /etc/init.d/rc 1 end script But what should i change? I'd already post this on Ubuntu forum, but have not had any response Ubuntu Forum
after doing some more research i found this article: HowtoForge: Setting up a serial console In the comment section someone else added this: Go to article to read further. With this knowledge a find out that in single user mode This script is being run Code: /usr/share/recovery-mode/recovery-menu Which displays a menu After selecting menu item "root" This script is being run: Code: /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/root So i thougt this would do the trick change this line Code: /sbin/sulogin to this line Code: /sbin/sulogin /dev/ttyS1 And add ttyS1 to the file /etc/securetty But unfortunately not. First the menu after running grub is still being displayed on the console attached to the server. Second there is some prompt showing on my IPMIview virtual terminal, but i cannot loggin? Help please?
