How does one disable the login prompt from running on the first serial port in order to use the serial port for other devices?
From http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … ys/WRT54GL we read
"there is a method to turn the console off giving you access to both ports if you really need them. It isn't recommended but it can be done."
But I cannot find out how.
Thanks very much,

Comment or erase the lines in /etc/inittab :
tts/0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
ttyS0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
tty1::askfirst:/bin/ash --loginThanks very much!

PS: A friend found another forum post on the topic. Sorry I didn't find it before asking (I did look, just not hard enough.)
