Re: Serial Port Config.

[Douglas Fallstrom <Douglas.Fallstrom@Sweden>]

This is not true, the devices for the serial ports should be built even if 
nothing is connected to the serial port, anything else must be a bug. 

And as Casper said below, most likely is a login/ttymon is controlling the port, 
that is default. Easy to change with pmadm or admintool.

/D.
