init and agetty packages available for review/upload.


I'm going to maintain the cygwin ports of init and agetty packages. You can
get the source code and binary packages at
http://users.rcn.com/sokhapkin/release/. agetty allows to login into Windows
NT box via a serial cable connected to a com port.

ldesc: "Init  is the parent of all processes.  Its primary role is
to create processes from  a  script  stored  in  the  file
/etc/inittab  (see  inittab(5)).   This  file  usually has
entries which cause init to spawn gettys on each line that
users  can  log in.  It also controls autonomous processes
required by any particular system."

sdesc: "An improved getty program"
ldesc: "Traditionally, getty is the program that listens on terminal and
modem
ports and that prompts for a login name.  Agetty is an alternative for
the System V or SunOS 4 environments that sports some useful features."
