Bug Description

Binary package hint: rootstock

At least on Karmic, /etc/securetty is not updated on the final image to make sure that the serial port specified is listed there. Since ttyS{0-3} are listed there, most systems with regular serial ports won't see this problem.

Just a minor inconvenience, but I figured I would file a bug on it.

/etc/securetty is sadly a conffile so its not easily changed, can you name the tty devices you would like to see added to /etc/securetty ? if there are any missing they have to go into the login package and i will happily add them.

Oliver,

It's ttyO0 - ttyO3 in my case, i.e. the serial ports on OMAP as driven by TI's DMA-offloaded driver instead of the default 8250 one. Please feel free to add them, console by default is on ttyO2 on most OMAP platforms, including Beagle (if it's built with the driver in question).

THanks!

This bug was fixed in the package shadow - 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu3

---------------
shadow (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low

  * add ttyO0-3 to debian/securetty.linux, if OMAP kernels are built with
    TI's DMA-offloaded driver instead of the default 8250 one the serial tty's
    are called like that (LP: #512845).
