* agetty: add \S to output /etc/os-release dataKarel Zak2013-09-121-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows to use a new \S or \S{VARNAME} sequence in the /etc/issue file. The sequence prints data from /etc/os-release. The reason is to keep /etc/issue file distribution and release independent. The \S{ANSI_COLOR} is converted to the real terminal escape seq. For example: \S Kernel \r on an \m (\l) or more complex example: Welcome to \S{ANSI_COLOR}\S{NAME}0m \S{VERSION} Report bugs at \S{BUG_REPORT_URL}. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html fr more details about /etc/issue. Based on patch from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>.

* Re-layout a FILES section in the traditional style.Eric S. Raymond2013-06-101-5/+12

* Remove another .ti for .RS/.RE, and remove a .TP that broke list parsing.Eric S. Raymond2013-06-101-8/+11

* Replace .IP o with .IP \(bu, using the [nt]roff bullet character.Eric S. Raymond2013-06-101-9/+9
| | | | | | | This will improve the quality of generated HTML. There is a cost, which is that most terminal emulators will just display the bullet as a (less visible) dot. An alternative to this change would be to use a * character for the bullet.
* Replace .ti operations with equivalent .RS/.RE pairs.Eric S. Raymond2013-06-101-4/+12
| | | | | This change makes automatic lifting to XML-DocBook possible, and should enable generation of better-quality HTML from these pages.
* agetty: update man page and usage()Karel Zak2013-06-031-21/+22
| | | | | | | | - baud_rate is optional - agetty has been rewritten 2 years ago, so don't blame original authors in the man page Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* agetty: allow full control on CLOCAL flagKarel Zak2013-05-231-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | Now the -L option allows to explicitly enable CLOCAL flag. Unfortunately sometimes it's necessary to clear the flag. This patch add optional argument =<mode> to specify 'auto', 'always' and 'never' to control CLOCAL flag.

* agetty: add --{erase,kill}-chars optionsKarel Zak2012-11-221-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need way to disable the default kill and erase agetty chars to make the getty usable for Active Directory users with '@' in username. It seems that the most extendible solution is to add options that allow to complete control additional erase/kill chars. If you specify empty strings then the chars are disabled at all. Note that this patch is backwardly compatible. Addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870854 Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* agetty: improve login(1) argv[]Karel Zak2011-08-081-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * fix regression: missing username should not be reported (EPERM) if -n/--skip-login is given and username is NULL. * don't compose login options *string* if we can use argv *array* (the string is necessary only for --login-options). * don't overwrite --login-options by --autologin The old code silently ignores login-options and "login -f <username>" is always used. The new code uses: a) "login -f <username>" by default b) "login <login-options>" for --login-options + --autologin where for b) the username from "--autologin <username>" is used to replace \u magic string in <login-options>. * the \u could be used more than once in one login argv string, for example: agetty --login-options "-o user=\\u,name=\\u --foo" * the space in --login-options is correctly ignored, for example agetty --login-options " hello world ".
