Hello, Currently, agetty always clears the IUTF8 flag. This poses problem on linux utf8 consoles when for instance running cat (in canonical mode), type a non-ascii character, type backspace, then enter, and finally control-D: the kernel only dropped one of the bytes coding the non-ascii character. The IUTF8 flag should thus be set at some point. It happens that the kernel already sets up the IUTF8 flag correctly. agetty simply has to preserve it, as the patch below implements. Samuel agetty: Fix IUTF8 flag Preserve IUTF8 as set up by the kernel, which knows which consoles are in utf8 mode.
