thanks

First of all, sorry to come to you so late. The former maintainer of
the shadow package was not very active since June 2004 and a
maintenance team finally took over the package some weeks ago.

WHile cleaning out the bug log, we found this bug of yours:

It seems there should be some additions to /etc/securetty?

The information you give is very terse. Could you please elaborate=A0? I
highly suspect something completely not related to the shadow package.


Given that I can't reproduce that bug, and if we do not get more
details in a few days, we're likely to close this bug report.
