I noted on my Dec. 10 dist-upgrade of Sid that logging off of a virtual
terminal had a large delay introduced (minutes, it seems). An error
msg. is spit out after a bit:
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
This does NOT happen with the console (tty1).
Googling noted the existent getty was having trouble based on bad
libraries or some other issue. I checked what it is linked to:
root:/home/daddy# ldd /sbin/getty
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40023000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libc6 was not in the upgrade list. I don't know where ld-linux is.
There is nothing odd in etc/inittab (all lines regarding respawning are
/identical except the runlevels--the default of which is set for 2).
Anyone know what the issue likely is? My subject: came from
remembering PAM issues some time ago, but for other login problems.
