[Bug 472301] Re: Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1
Repeatedly spamming the Escape or Ctrl+C keys has always given you a root shell during boot That's not true, actually. The problem is that hitting ESC kills fsck, which mountall reacts like like the drive is failed. In the failed drive case, it should run sulogin on a free tty. This is something that upstart needs to deal with (perhaps vt8?) ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix = Confirmed ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 472301] Re: Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1
There is still a bug here. As Johan stated, sulogin and getty should not start on the same tty. When fsck is cancelled without an error, it should not open a maintenance shell. ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix = Incomplete -- Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not to put too fine a point on it, but why does this not give you a root shell on other Linux distributions? At least, I could not make Gentoo or OpenSUSE provide me with that particular back door. -- Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sysadmins who have taken precautions to slightly slow down attackers with physical access could simply set a root password, in which case sulogin requests it. -- Spamming the Esc key on Karmic bootup causes fsck to quit, leaving a root shell on tty1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
