lo lo, util-linux's agetty never cleared the terminal before 2.20. I don't think its good idea to set clear screen to default, since after upgrading from <2.20 versions, everywhere have to modify the inittab with the --no-clear option. Also this Num/Caps/Scroll Lock on/off printf hint in the code looks quite funny... Can't be set this optional and not printed by default? Earlier versions weren't so noisy. -- 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
