We have finally fixed sakura! The iisue with not being able to get a prompt as a regular user was due to a permissions problem with /dev/pts -- the fix is to edit two files: 1) /etc/group -- change the GID for group 'tty' into 5, instead of whatever it is... 2) /etc/fstab -- change the entry for devpts from defaults to 'rw,gid=5,mode=620 Reboot, and it works the way it should.
