The fedora 10 I tried (I downloaded its rootfs) already 'somehow'
provided a agetty in ttyS0.
That's spawned through upstart, at /etc/event.d/serial (iirc). But
after logging in, in a few seconds of using bash I got presented again
a login prompt (like an agetty restarted in that terminal). After
that, either bash or agetty grab the chars I send.

I thought I understood upstart quite well, but I don't understand the
kind of 'magic' in /etc/event.d/serial.
Don't you experience the same?

Lluís.
