I have my PC with Ubuntu 11.04 installed, from this PC console port (RS232) another PC my laptop is connected. Now from my another PC i want to connect it and login and use it completely over RS232. How can I do that setup? I have tried following:
Ubuntu console is enabled (connected)
$ dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled [ 1.147272] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.327959] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A [ 1.505178] 00:0a: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.525980] 00:0b: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A [ 1.546597] 0000:00:16.3: ttyS4 at I/O 0xf140 (irq = 19) is a 16550A/etc/default/grub (grub2)
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8' GRUB_TERMINAL=serial GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=19200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"Grub update
update-grub
4. /etc/inittab I have to add, but I do not find that file
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 19200 vt100
/etc/securetty check
ttyS0 #exist
But I do not find /boot/grub/menu.list any more. How do I setup this in Ubuntu 11.04?

But I do not find in my Ubuntu 11.04 /etc/inittab.
