Compile with + -DSHADOW_PWD if you have . This is on by default. + By Marek Michalkiewicz . + Changed the wtmp locking scheme in login.c,agetty.c,simpleinit.c + to flock() /etc/wtmplock instead of the wtmp file directly. + This avoids a denial of service attack. + Some support for the RB-1 Cryptocard token for challenge/response + authentication. This needs a DES library, either Eric Young's + libdes, or the Koontz implementation, see cryptocard.c. + Initial support patch by Randolph Bentson, + + Changed getpass() to use fputs() instead of fprintf(). + +Version 1.44 (13-Nov-96): + Made isapty() in checktty.c more resilient to 2.0 systems + that haven't re-MAKEDEV'ed their pty devices. + +Version 1.43 (8-Nov-96): + Fix to checktty.c: PTY's are numbered differently after 1.3, + blush! Fix by Gerhard Schneider + +Version 1.42c (6-Nov-96): + Small fix by Gabriel M.

Patches from Eric Rasmussen + , but somewhat butchered by me. + +Version 1.39 (25-Oct-95): + Lots of testing and bugfixes in agetty. Now the modem init stuff + should finally work (for me). Also wrote modem.agetty as an example + on how to use agetty with a modem. + Agetty now also supports baud rates of 38400, 57600, 115200 and + 230400 bps. Version 1.37 (15-Sep-95): Added -I and -w options to agetty.c for those that -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
