I'm using util-linux-2.20. /etc/inittab has the line below: s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 --long-hostname --noclear When I login on a serial term, I type username, but nothing appear on the screen, just as input password. Only when input a wrong password, and try again, I can see the username as I typed, but that was done by /bin/login It looks like the "ECHO bit in termios.c_cflag" was not properly set before the get_logname() been called. called at term-utils/agetty.c line 391 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
