[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#544184: /etc/securetty: please add ttyAMA0..3

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1+b2
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/securetty


On ARM926EJ-S based systems  the serial ports are called ttyAMA[0-9].
Please consider adding these ports to /etc/securetty so it's possible to 
log in as root over the serial console (by default).
The RealView ARM Versatile/PB (which can be emulated by qemu) seems [1] 
to have four serial ports (ttyAMA0..ttyAMA3) that are accessible from 
the outside, so it would be great to have at least those in securetty.
