Hello,
thanks for packaging fgetty. I find it very simple and useful; however,
I discovered that if the user's password is 1 character long, fgetty
denies the login even if the password is correct. getty on the other
hand logs in successfully.
Bye,
Enrico

Hi Enrico, after all it seems the unusual behavior was caused by a
missing colon in the /etc/shadow line. This was a very special case I
think, let's close this report.
