Debian Release: buster/stable Package: bash Version: 5.0-4
Dear Maintainer, We experience a similar issue which i believe is caused by the same underlying issue: we use a modified .profile which provides logging and at one point calls exec bash so upon login the following error is produced: testhost login: testuser Password: **********<Enter> bash: initialize_job_control: no job control in background: Bad file descriptor Any keypress then takes us back to the login prompt. Steps to reproduce: - for a testuser, modify /home/testuser/.profile to just read exec bash (or rather exec $(SHELL) if the login shell for testuser is bash) - log in as said user from any local tty - observe that above error will be logged and any further keypress will close the session and take you back to the login prompt Apparently there already is a fix [1] in upstream (bash-5.0 patchlevel 7). I build bash from source applying just the patch provided in [1], and the problem did not occur anymore. Considering this concerns a rather basic aspect of bash (a built-in and the behaviour of job control), it would be nice, if this fix could be applied to the package in buster. Kind regards, Heiko Brinkmeier [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?id=3ba697465bc74fab513a26dea700cc82e9f4724e
