[ale] [OT?] Solaris 6 admintool display back to linux (RH7.1)laptop

[z.yu at ptek.com (Jerry Z. Yu)]

think it is  because XFree86 4.0 version has something not working
properly with admintool. go back to 3.3.6 should be fine. this is from
experience on a desktop Linux machine though.

com2 getty is controlled by file /etc/saf/zsmon/_pmtab (the second line,
which started with 'ttyb'.) I believe the following should do it:
pmadm -d -p zsmon -s ttyb
