Enabling the getty_hty Command

The getty_hty command is a sample program that passes user and host information for the telnet command and facilitates automatic login for the rlogin command.

Note: The /usr/sbin/getty_hty command and /usr/samples/ntx/getty_hty.c sample source code do not enable the Ctrl-D key sequence for ending a session. Execute the exit command to end a session. Alternatively, you can add the following line to the $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.login file to enable the Ctrl-D key sequence upon login:

stty eof ^D

Prerequisites

2. You must set the User Environment Events field to enabled and the Rlogin Environment Information field to strip in the Global Modes SMIT configuration menu.

1. Edit the /etc/inittab file using your favorite editor.

3. In the same line, change the action field from off to respawn , if necessary.
4. Save and close the file.
