I meant: why do we only allow serial console login if auto-login is
enabled? Having "live-getty" and "noautologin" at the same time does not
give me the opportunity to login using an username/password.

I do not want the "auto-login" feature because someone could connect a
computer to the serial port and thus would be directly able to type in
commands. When connected to the serial port, I want the user to enter
valid credentials first.

I hope it is a bit more clear now ;) Thank you.

Regards,

Cyril
