cuegetty(1M) cuegetty(1M)

(Series 800 Only)

series that cuegetty tries is determined by what it ﬁnds in

/etc/gettydefs

After interface set-up is complete,

cue is started to accept and validate the user name and password.

WARNINGS

If a supported non-HP terminal (or an HP terminal such as HP 700/60 in VT320, VT100 or WYSE60 mode)

is required to run

cuegetty, make sure that a correct terminal type is speciﬁed using the

-T option. For

example, if you want to run

cuegetty

on a vt100 terminal, you should make an entry in the

/etc/inittab ﬁle such as the following entry:

tty1:23:respawn:cuegetty -T vt100 -h tty1p1 9600

Absence of the -T option causes cuegetty to assume terminal to be a HP terminal which may then cause

the terminal to behave incorrectly and may not even allow user to login.

DEPENDENCIES

cuegetty is available only on Series 800 systems, and is compatible only with the following terminals:

HP 700/92 HP 700/94 HP 2392 HP 2394 VT 100 WYSE 60

See WARNINGS if you intend to use a non-HP terminal (or an HP terminal such as HP 700/60 in VT320,

VT100, or WYSE60 mode).
