I've seen a couple of RedHat 7.3 PC's that at some point began exhibiting the following behaviour on tty1:
You boot the machine (text login) and it comes to a "login:" prompt. Type in any user account, press enter, and rather than issuing a "password:" prompt it issues the prompt "TYPE IS:". You can try typing a password, or anything, press enter, and whatever you typed is echoed back to the screen and you get another "TYPE IS:" prompt. I can work around by simply selecting tty2, which works fine. I've compared /etc/inittab with a PC that doesn't exhibit this problem. On the problem PC's, the same mingetty processes are out there for tty1, tty2, tty3 etc... I know it's a long-shot but wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this somewhat bizarre problem.
