The file /etc/securetty shipped with Gentoo (provided by sys-apps/shadow) now comes with the necessary permissions to login as root on the first tty, useful when using con0=fd:0,fd:1. According to the ChangeLog it was done to fix hppa console issues but it would seem to also work for UML. One more step removed from creating a basic Gentoo rootfs. Use a Gentoo UML today! David |

Well, having a login-prompt on /dev/console or tty0 will cause you troubles when you want to run a UML in the background but want a log of the kernel-output. I start my Gentoo-UMLs with con0=null,fd:2 con1=fd:0,fd:1 con=pts (or was it pty?) when i need a login-prompt in a terminal, and without the line for "con1" if i run it in the background. |

Do NOT use /dev/console. It is broken. If you use /dev/console, Ctrl-C does= =20 not work, as Ctrl-Z; I do not know how much other stuff is broken. > I start my Gentoo-UMLs with > con0=3Dnull,fd:2 > con1=3Dfd:0,fd:1 > con=3Dpts (or was it pty?) > when i need a login-prompt in a terminal, and without the line for > "con1" if i run it in the background. =2D-=20 Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 |
