Try adding ttyS0 to the "/etc/securetty" file, if it is not already
present.  Also, you may want to make sure that you're using the proper
device name.  For instance, if you're using devfs, then the name "ttyS0"
is not correct.  Good luck.

Hi folks,

I've got busybox and tiny login enabled on my microblaze uClinux setup, 
and in inittab I have an entry running "getty -l /bin/login ttyS1 57600"

I hook up a terminal to this tty and it displays "mbvanilla login:", 
however I am unable to login in.  I enter "root", and it thinks about 
things for a second then repeats the login prompt.  No "Login incorrect"

messages.  The cpu is definitely doing something - the load heads 
towards 1.0 during this period.

However, if from the console shell I manually type "login" I can 
successfully login as root or bin or any of the other users defined in 
my /etc/passwd file.  'whoami' confirms the new username.  Also, if I 
give a bogus username and passwd it detects it and won't let me in.

So, what's going on here?  getty seems to work, login seems to work, and

ttyS1 seems to work.  but the combo of all 3 is failing silently.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
