See the attachment for why the implementation, at least, is a bug. Look at the top of that screen dump. When you look at the actual screen after bootup, the login up top is just barely still on the screen. It shows up and the system doesn't even pause--it keeps plowing on through the other scripts. (Notice that MySQL even has its output on the same line.) The cursor ends up at the far right edge of the screen (to the right of the last [OK]). It's rather odd, and definitely confusing for an inexperienced Linux user. I daresay that it's not what an experienced user expects either. And if I had just one more script running starting up, there wouldn't even be a buried login on the screen. If you want a login available earlier, then there has to be a better way to do it.
