Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the fgetty package.
The package description is: fgetty is a small, efficient, console-only getty for Linux. It is derived from mingetty but hacked until it would link against diet libc to produce the smallest memory footprint possible for a simple yet complete getty. . fgetty includes a login program that supports the checkpassword authentication interface, and also a checkpassword program that uses the standard C library interface to passwd and shadow. It has long-hanging bug #426359 about issues with nis-client. I never interacted with NIS, leave alone setted it up. I am seeking for help with this issue from person, who can test, whether last version of fgetty has this issue, and, ideally debug it.
