Here are some messages from the USENET group comp.os.linux dating
from 1992 - mostly relating to kernel hacking... This was around the same
time that Linus was starting to hack the LINUX kernel. Puts me in some
interesting company.

Subject: using com ports 3 and 4
Newsgroups: comp.os.minix

Has anyone had any experiance with connecting com ports 3 and 4 to
minix with patches? I know that if these ports are on seperate interupt
lines it should not be hard, but I am new to minix.
Some serial cards let com ports be assigned to any interupt - such
as com 3 being on int 5 and com 4 being on int 9 ( or int 2 on an xt)
The kernel would then only need to be re-written to accepts these interupts
as serial devices...
Any help would be useful - If there are any solutions gained I will post them
here...

Subject: Login Question - Bug?
Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
Date: 1992-05-11 12:48:32 PST
I have been doing some playing arround with my hacked Minix and hav
tried the following
login drsmith &
Where the account drsmith has no password...
What i get is (when run from root) is a single shell for the person
where one command may be executed before it returnd to the root prompt
but more importantly is the result whan I get a who.
I get a result showing that drsmith is logged in on tty3 (not unusual for
my system) and the process number of my shell.
However when I kill -9 -9 and then re-login doing the same thing - These
names (drsmith) are still logges on with the same process - and if i repeat
the procedure the process number of these stupid logins are all identical and
equal to the shell I have since killed.
Any solutions?
Is this a doccumented Bug?

I actually run my modem from tty4 (or tty3) I have some patched and I think I
posted them to the net just after easter. If anyone wants the patches just

with mail going missing.
