The problem only happens after logging into virtual ttys called from fgetty (or ngetty configured to use login1). I use /usr/bin/rc as default shell; but, in order to discard any shell configuration, I have chsh /bin/bash and reboot. Indeed, I have created a new user with adduser to discard any .profile issue. The problem remains in both cases. > Do I understand correctly, that /bin/bash, which is execed directly by > fgetty behaves bad, but any it's child is okay? That is correct. If /bin/bash -or other command interpreters available in Debian- are accessed through fgetty, they behave bad (interpretting [á-ú] or "ñ" key presses as escape sequences). Besides, when trying to type [Á-Ú,Ñ], the system just beeps, that is: no "(arg: 1) " appear. But, if I execute any of these command interpreters again as a child process, or if I run any editor (e.g. ed), or even if I run script(1) or ttyrec, key strokes will echo the correct letters. > More information here, please.

I hope it helps to debbug. # In /etc/inittab : 1:23:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/rungetty tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/ngetty tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/ngetty tty6 # In /etc/ngetty/Conf : # tty6=echo-off # (same result with this line enabled) tty6=login-prog=/lib/fgetty/login1 # 'dpkg -L fgetty' output is: /. /lib /lib/fgetty /lib/fgetty/login1 /lib/fgetty/login2 /usr /usr/share /usr/share/lintian /usr/share/lintian/overrides /usr/share/lintian/overrides/fgetty /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/fgetty /usr/share/doc/fgetty/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/fgetty/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/fgetty/copyright /usr/share/doc/fgetty/README /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/fgetty.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/checkpassword.login.8.gz /sbin /sbin/fgetty /bin /bin/checkpassword.login # reboot and login into tty[1-6] # in tty5 type: ; ps -a PID TTY TIME CMD 2155 tty1 00:00:00 login1 <defunct> 2157 tty2 00:00:00 rc 2159 tty3 00:00:00 rc 2161 tty4 00:00:00 rc 2153 tty5 00:00:00 rc 2162 tty5 00:00:00 ps 2149 tty6 00:00:00 login1 <defunct> # By pressing "ñ" key in: tty1: the console shows: "(arg: 1)" tty2: the console shows: "; ñ" tty3: the console shows: "; ñ" tty4: the console shows: "; ñ" tty5: the console shows: "; ñ" tty6: the console shows: "(arg: 1)" # I run /usr/bin/rc in tty1 and type "ñ".
