I'm using openrc (0.9.8.4) and I don't use any (graphical) login manager.
After some upgrade of openrc -- not too long ago --
something clears the screen just before I'm offered to log in.
But I'd like to see the last messages of openrc.
What gets executed just before I can login?
Or, where can I stop blanking the terminal just before login.
From util-linux-2.20.1-r1.ebuild:
pkg_postinst() {
elog "The agetty util now clears the terminal by default. You"
elog "might want to add --noclear to your /etc/inittab lines."
}
Maybe it's this?

Try here: /etc/bash/bash_login .
Both replies are interesting, but incomplete :
(1) to which line in inittab do we add '--noclear' ?
To the line for the terminal you don't want to be cleared. I only added
it to tty1:
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux --noclear
(2) what do we put in bash_login ? -- 'man bash' doesn't help.
Nothing you would put there would help. It's about preventing the
clearing of the terminal. There's nothing you can do after it has been
cleared.
