I had read some docs which mentioned that on SysV, you can specify a * in
the 7th field of the passwd file (thisis from memory, I may be off) and
that user's login will then be chroot()ed to his home directory.
I was hoping to find a similar functionality in Debian, so I tried the *

I've got a friend who is interested in installing a Linux distro on his
machine (probably a dual-boot with Win98, although he may decide to just

I'm wondering how to get /dev/console to work properly in Debian.
I'm running Debian 2.1 slink, and a 2.2.12 kernel. I've seen that the
Debian distribution sets /dev/console up as a symlink to /dev/tty0, while
slackware and Redhat create an actual device with Major # 5 and Minor # 1.
