[nos-bbs] Jnos 2.0i+ "headless" install issue

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Hi Joel,

We're running JNOS in a screen session, too.  We use PuTTY and have a setup
saved for accessing the JNOS console.  The setup ensures that we always have
the same screen size and we even check the box in Putty that disallows
changing the size.  We have several sysops that share the duty and all have
that PuTTY setting.  Works FB for over a year now.

Greetings all,
I'm working on getting Jnos 2.0i+ running stably on a linux machine.
My issue is that it keeps dumping core with the PANIC: LOST KEYBOARD
message.

It does restart, but I'd like it not to bail and restart each time the tty
it runs on gets sent a resize or refresh message.

So far, all I can tell is that this is somehow related to the tty's
geometry. 
Since there's no honest "daemon" mode, I opted to run it in a 'screen'
session that I could detach and then reattach.

Problem: on re-attach, the geometry, even if not changing, gets "touched"
and Jnos seems to hate that.

What are others doing to run Jnos on headless, access-less stations? I'm
starting to think that my attempt in running it under 'screen' is going to
prove problematic and ultimately futile. :)

Thanks-
