* agetty.8: Avoid a warning about an unbreakable lineBjarni Ingi Gislason2018-08-061-1/+2

* agetty: keep c_iflags unmodified on --autologinKarel Zak2018-06-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | agetty sets c_iflags according to interaction with serial line in get_logname(). For --autologin it does not read from the line, so we have no clue how to set the flags. The current behavior is to zeroize the flags. Unfortunately, it seems like bad idea, because the line may be already properly initialized by kernel (or systemd, etc.). The new behavior is not touch the flags on --autologin. Addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1252764 Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* agetty: add support for /etc/issue.dKarel Zak2017-11-071-8/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The /etc/issue file has been originally designed to inform users about the system (version, name, etc.). In last years is growing number of additional tools (containers, maintenance tools and interfaces, ...) and many admins and downstream maintainer want to add some tool specific hints to the issue file, but it mess to share one file between more packages and/or scripts. The solution is /etc/issue.d directory. The directory is extension to the standard system /etc/issue. The /etc/issue file has to exist, otherwise the directory will be ignored. It means "rm /etc/issue" (or --onissue) is still the way how keep our system silent independently on 3rd-party installed files in the /etc/issue.d directory. The content of the files in the directory are printed after content of the /etc/issue. The files are printed in version-sort order and .issue file extension is required (00-foo.issue 01-bar.issue ...). The change is backwardly compatible. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* agetty: make --remote to forward --nohostname as -H to loginSami Kerola2017-04-031-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Without this change an attempt to remove hostname printing required following rather clumsy agetty invocation. /sbin/agetty --nohostname --login-options '/bin/login -H -- \u' After the change --nohostname behaves similar way with --host option, that is when combined with --remote the effect is passed to login(1).

* agetty: Reprompt and reprint /etc/issue when askedStef Walter2014-07-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an 'agetty --reload' command which asks all running agetty commands to display their prompts again. Several of the /etc/issue escape codes such as \4 and \S depend on variable data which can change after the agetty prompt is displayed. This can cause stale data to be displayed when a user looks at a VT, especially in cases of DHCP racing with system start up. We never want this to occur once the user has started typing a user name. So we detect when the user starts typing, after which no further reprompting occurs after that point.

* agetty: use the "best" interface for \4 and \6Karel Zak2014-05-131-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The issue file escape sequences \4 and \6 prints the host IP when no interface is specified. That's useless on some virtual machines where gethostname()+getaddrinfo() returns 127.0.0.1. The seems better to print IP of the "best" interface (UP, RUNNING, non-LOOPBACK) and use gethostname() as painful fallback only.

* 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>.
