Bug#504381: rootskel: noshell boot option for unattended installations

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>]

Package: rootskel
Version: 1.69
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty

Timo Aaltonen, an Ubuntu developer, uploaded the attached patch to
Ubuntu's rootskel package. I think it's reasonable and worthwhile. Any
objections (post-lenny of course)?

  * init: Add support for disabling the shells on tty2 and tty3 by
    specifying a 'noshell' option on the kernel cmdline. Useful for
    unattended installations in a public place.
