Below is an example of reproducing this, the first time run_init performs as expected. The second time is fails without me even typing a password or pressing ENTER. The result is the same with any command, but ls is just a good example. This happens no matter what shell is spawned (whether it's ssh, su, or just an Xterm), run_init seems generally broken with the 4.9.0-2-amd64/4.9.13-1 kernel at least. NB I can't rule out the possibility of a kernel bug at this stage. But at this time it seems best to assume it's a run_init bug until proven otherwise. Sorry for the inconvenience Andreas. # run_init ls /boot Authenticating root.
