NAME
vboxgetty.conf - config file for vboxgetty

Description
The file @I4LCONFDIR@/vboxgetty.conf is used to configure vboxgetty. Please read the man page vboxgetty(8) for a description of how vboxgetty works. Everything after "#" is ignored, as are empty lines. All arguments must be separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs). Arguments may not contain whitespace. All settings before the first port command are global settings, after a port command they only affect the current port.
port <string>

modeminit <string>
    Command to initialize the modem. You should set the MSN/EAZ on which vboxgetty should listen for incoming calls. Default is "ATZ".
user <string>
    Name of the user that vboxgetty will use. This user must exist in /etc/passwd and you must use this parameter.
group <string>
    Name of the group that vboxgetty will use. This group must exist in /etc/group and you must use this parameter.
