Package: login Version: 1:4.0.18.1-11 Severity: normal I had a login (lower case) prompt and mistakenly put my elbow on the keybord. As a result the following was entered as the user name:
[[C4[[D[[E[17~78[18~[19~ so I got a LOGIN INCORRECT message. In addition, I was prompted for the user name and pssword by upper case letters ( HOSTNAME LOGIN and PASSWORD). Echoing the user name that I entered was also in upper case letters. I couldn't login, even though I entered the correct password (LOGIN INCORRECT). Finally I got a MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRIES EXCEEDED (5) message. After that, the contents of /etc/issue was displayed and login got back to the usual lower case letters. Now I can login again. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-3.pentium3.1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages login depends on: ii libc6 2.5-9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l login recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
