login installation weirdness?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Sorry about the subject line, but I don't know how to briefly describe
this problem. Anyway, I have just finished installing 1.2 and everything
went perfectly except that on the first virtual terminal (ALT-F1) when any
user exits, /etc/issue is not read and the first prompt offered is for
root's password. If I just hit enter, a complaint about an invalid root
password appears and then the login prompt appears, again without parsing
/etc/issue. This does not happen on any other VT. I then upgraded to 1.3
(frozen) and the same thing still happens and only happens to VT 1. I
really don't know what other information I could offer to help solve this
- - any ideas? Cheers, Colin.
