[oe] root login over serial port using shadow
Hi, for the followinf, the distro in Angstrom. When using shadow as the IMAGE_LOGIN_MANAGER, login doesn't work as root over the serial port if a password is set for root and whatever the setting done under securretty or /etc/security or /etc/login.defs The problem is the following : inittab says : S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0 getty is using /bin/login as a default. But /bin/login is a link to busybox thus when login on the serial port, busybox's login will be used and not shadow's login which is at /usr/bin/login changing inittab to : S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0 -l /usr/bin/login solves the problem. Now the question : what is the right way to tell the shadow package to replace /bin/login of busybox by its proper /usr/bin/login when it's installed ?
