Package: rungetty Version: 1.2-13 Severity: normal There is no mention in any of the documentation that the autologin support does not operate except on tty1. Use on any other tty acts as if an autologin has already happened this session without complaint.
There's a #define in the source code that controls this, I'd suggest that the correct fix is to disable that #define (according to the comment above it) since there's not a really obvious reason to limit that support to tty1. On the other hand, if this restriction is sensible and warranted, then it probably should be mentioned in the man page, and possibly log an error of some kind when someone tries to use it on a different tty. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, [email protected] Shorter .sig for a more eco-friendly paperless office.
