FreeBSD Serial Console Access

I enabled serial console access on one of my FreeBSD 5.0 RELEASE boxes. First I checked to see the serial ports available:



#dmesg | grep sio

usb0: USB revision 1.0

sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0

sio0: type 16550A

sio1 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0

sio1: type 16550A


I checked to see what devices I had:


#ls -al /dev/cua*

crw------- 1 root wheel 28, 128 Feb 3 22:07 /dev/cuaa0

crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Feb 3 21:50 /dev/cuaa1

crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 160 Feb 3 21:50 /dev/cuaia0

crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 161 Feb 3 21:50 /dev/cuaia1

crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 192 Feb 3 21:50 /dev/cuala0

crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 193 Feb 3 21:50 /dev/cuala1



Then I added the following line to /etc/ttys




cuaa0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt100 on secure


Then I restarted init via 'kill -HUP 1' and checked to see what had changed:




#ps -auxww | grep cua

root 493 0.0 0.3 1184 864 a0 Is+ Mon10PM 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 cuaa0


Now I can use Windows HyperTerminal or a similar program to access my FreeBSD box using a serial cable and null modem.
