Hi,
for the followinf, the distro in Angstrom.
When using shadow as the IMAGE_LOGIN_MANAGER, login doesn't work as root
over the serial port if a password is set for root and whatever the
setting done under securretty or /etc/security or /etc/login.defs
The problem is the following :
inittab says :
S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0
getty is using /bin/login as a default. But /bin/login is a link to
busybox thus when login on the serial port, busybox's login will be used
and not shadow's login which is at /usr/bin/login
changing inittab to :
S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0 -l /usr/bin/login
solves the problem.
Now the question : what is the right way to tell the shadow package to
replace /bin/login of busybox by its proper /usr/bin/login when it's
installed ?
Many thanks
Eric
