Hi Gene/Bruce,

Got the first problem sorted, still a problem with the second though.

The first problem was fixed by using vc/1 vc/2 etc... instead of tty1 tty2.
The ttyX doesn't seem to work anymore with 0.61.

I'm stil trying to get the second one to work, as inetd doesn't seem to do
what I want, I'm trying to get login and telnetd to work with xinetd.  Sill
getting the problem with 

rying 172.23.24.99...
Connected to elp.westcoastdhb.org.nz (172.23.24.99).
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: bind: Address already in use
Connection closed by foreign host.

Ideas anyone?

Cheers

Miles

My getty it in /sbin not /bin.

Here's my inittab:

# Startup the system
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
#null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t devfs none /dev 
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
null::sysinit:/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
null::sysinit:/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
null::sysinit:/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

# Set up a couple of getty's
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/1
tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/2
tty3::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/3
tty4::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/4
tty5::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/5
tty6::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 vc/6

# Put a getty on the serial port
ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L tts/0 9600 linux

# now run any rc scripts
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
