Package: fgetty Version 0.6-4 My debian machine is a nis-client. When i try to login using a nis username and passwd on tty1, it says: checkpassword: wrong password This started happening recently after i did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', so i think this might be happening with the upgraded version of fgetty. Earlier i could login using nis accounts on tty1. (And i have not installed a separate checkpassword package, so it is the one shipped with fgetty) Note that on xdm, i can login using nis accounts, so it is not a nis configuration problem. Have attached the contents of /etc/inittab below.
Thanks and regards, Arvind ps: am facing a similar problem on a ubuntu machine using fgetty ************************************************************************ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/auto/home2/arvind$ uname -a Linux orion 2.6.17-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 17:57:21 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/auto/home2/arvind$ cat /etc/inittab # /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration. # $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $ # The default runlevel. id:5:initdefault: # Boot-time system configuration/initialization script. # This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode. si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS # What to do in single-user mode. ~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin # /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change # of runlevel. # # Runlevel 0 is halt. # Runlevel 1 is single-user. # Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user. # Runlevel 6 is reboot. l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5 l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6 # Normally not reached, but fallthrough in case of emergency. z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now # Action on special keypress (ALT-UpArrow). #kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this work." # What to do when the power fails/returns. pf::powerwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail start pn::powerfailnow:/etc/init.d/powerfail now po::powerokwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail stop # /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. # # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). # # Format: # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> # # Note that on most Debian systems tty7 is used by the X Window System, # so if you want to add more getty's go ahead but skip tty7 if you run X. # #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 #2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 #3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 #4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 #5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 #6:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty3 #4:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty4 #5:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty5 #6:2345:respawn:/sbin/fgetty tty6 # Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal) # #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 #T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100 # Example how to put a getty on a modem line. # #T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS3
