#20359: Serial console password
--------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: gnutella | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: Chaos Calmer (trunk)
Component: packages | Version: Trunk
Keywords: serial console, password |
--------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Dear all,
I would like to set a password to serial console, without recompiling
busybox.
/bin/login is not available in Chaos Calmer snapshots.
Would it be possible to have /bin/login in a separate packate and we would
only need to set:
/etc/inittab
::askconsole:/bin/login
From a legal point of view, using computers without a password is not
allowed in some countries, including France. This would make using OpenWRT
illegal.
Also, reading the documentation, it does not seem very clear to readers
that OpenWRT serial console is "WIDE OPEN" and that anyone can become root
in 2 seconds using two wires.
Kind regards,
Gnutella
