Terminal Login Problems

Table 2-3 lists the problems you may encounter while logging in to a system:
Cause
This message usually indicates that the
incoming CD signal connected to a
modem control port with CLOCAL set
keeps toggling. The result is that the
getty process dies because the loss of
carrier spawns a new getty. If the
system detects a getty process spawned
too frequently on a port, it prints this
message and eventually fails to spawn
a new getty.
Action
Reset the internal retry time to its initial
value or disable the port and then re-enable
it.
