Bug#823061: RFH: fgetty -- console-only getty & login (issue with nis)
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request assistance with maintaining the fgetty package.
The package description is:
fgetty is a small, efficient, console-only getty for Linux. It is derived
from mingetty but hacked until it would link against diet libc to produce
the smallest memory footprint possible for a simple yet complete getty.
.
fgetty includes a login program that supports the checkpassword
authentication interface, and also a checkpassword program that uses the
standard C library interface to passwd and shadow.
It has long-hanging bug #426359 about issues with nis-client. I never
interacted with NIS, leave alone setted it up. I am seeking for help
with this issue from person, who can test, whether last version of
fgetty has this issue, and, ideally debug it.
