problems with UUCP and SETGETTY

[Richard H. Gumpertz]

I have recently been having problems with UUCICO getting wedged after a session:
a program named setgetty is running and eating cycles and getty is not getting
started.

1) Has anyone else had this problem?

2) What does setgetty do?

3) What are its arguments?

4) After I kill the hung setgetty, do I have to edit /etc/inittab and then run
   telinit q or is that what setgetty was supposed to do?  If so, how do I
   retry?

5) Any ideas that might lead me to eliminating the setgetty problem?  Any ideas
   what causes it?

6) I am using 3.51 standard AT&T uucp.  Is there anything in the 3.51a update
   that will help?  Will HDB uucp do better?
