[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#421652: /bin/login: can call from the command line anymore

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-7
Severity: wishlist
File: /bin/login

Nowadays
$ /bin/login
says
No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"

even though
$ cat /proc/$PPID/cmdline
says
/bin/login

I.e., I am certainly at the lowest shell. pstree says
init--login--bash.


So you might change
No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
to
Try instead "exec login" from the lowest level "sh".
or something.
