Hello,

Russell opened the following bug regarding run_init in the debian bts:

====

[...]
It turns out that the problem was not running $(arch), but running run_init in
the shell it spawned.  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

# run_init ls /boot

I can reproduce this with 2.7-rc3, run_init is compiled with pam and audit support.

An idea what could happen here?

Regards,

Laurent Bigonville
