Hi, it has been mentioned on this list beginning of this year:
Logging out of one of the text consoles can take a long time (see bug #226443 in package util-linux). This bug seems not yet been fixed (I still have this delay with getty). Meanwhile I have a trivial way to work around this bug by using mingetty instead of getty on those consoles where serial support is not needed: 'apt-get mingetty' Then change the corresponding lines in /etc/inittab : Replace 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 ... by 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 ... (Option --noclear prevents mingetty from clearing the screen after logout). Finally, tell the init-process to reread /etc/inittab with: 'telinit q' Now the login prompt appears instantly after a logout.
