Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
In src/init.c, one can read
tty.c_lflag = ISIG|ICANON|ECHO|ECHOCTL|ECHOPRT|ECHOKE;
Is there a reason for setting ECHOPRT and not ECHOE?
Doing so makes the console behave in a not very beautiful way,
particularly in emergency sessions: except at the shell prompt, when the
user types something and tries to erase it, the result is
foo\foo/
Shouldn't ECHOPRT be dropped and ECHOE set instead, for avoiding such
strange effect?
