retitle 151673 [TO CLOSE 20050422] login: weird error message on --- username
tags 151673 unreproducible
thanks
The bug report:
Note: This is sparc64 debian.
When I type "---" (without the quotes) for username at the console login
prompt, I get this error message:
usage: login [-p] [name]
login [-p] [-h host] [-f name]
login [-p] -r host
After that, I get the login prompt again.
This doesn't always happen though. However, most of the time it does.
I just find it strange that this is printed. Maybe it is fixed in newer
versions of login...
----------------------------------------------------------
Is it still reproducible ? I'm unable to get this behaviour which I
suspect was probably triggered by something completely different
(and now for....:-))).
