Hi Imre,
Thanks for this! This indeed would be my preference, I just thought
there wouldn't be any appetite for it on the grounds I mentioned. Before
I work up a version of the patch that isn't as desirable from a security
perspective, I have another concept that ought to solve the ar71xx
problem of unknown serial console for purposes of inittab in squashfs
(leaving ramips as the one platform that I don't know if the serial
console is known but and just wasn't considered required for inittab, or
if the reason not in inittab is that you can't predict the serial device).
Regards,
Daniel

I am reworking this (requiring console login) as couple of packages
for the packages feed, although it may require an image.mk or packages
Makefile hook in order to embed an appropriate inittab into the image
(since the inittab will need to be modified and we need to guarantee
the correct order of actions; and inittab comes from base-files which
is last thing done in the packages Makefile).
I hope the other devs will chime in, but FWIW I would make this enabled
unconditionally across all targets. As we already have a way to do a
"factory reset" using the reset button, IMHO failsafe should also
enforce login passwords everywhere, including the serial console.
