[Pkg-shadow-devel] shadow 4.1.4, securetty problem and crash after failed login

[Juergen Daubert]

Hello,

after update to shadow 4.1.4 login doesn't accept entries in
/etc/securetty like

  tty1

To get it working, so root is able to login again, the entry must 
be changed to 

  /dev/tty1


Additionaly login crashes after an failed attempt to login as root. 

How to reproduce:

- open a console
- login root
- type a wrong password
- press <Enter> again


Backtrace below.

Complete config.log and /etc/login.defs are here: 
- http://jue.li/tmp/shadow-4.1.4-config.log
- http://jue.li/tmp/login.defs


thanks and regards
Juergen
