execve("/bin/checkpassword", ["checkpassword", "true"], [/* 21 vars */]) = 0
open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 4
read(4, "\256\17\273\37\16\272d\267"..., 8) = 8

Could anything be done to fix the failing checkpassword?
For me fgetty is unusable…
fgetty-longin2 brings up a "Segmentation fault"
fgetty-login says every time "wrong password" while I press enter; so I think,
it crashes, because normally it should wait a few seconds when a wrong password
is ent
Please ignore my guess about PAM. It seems fgetty doesn't use it at all.
It must be something else.

Steps to reproduce:
1. From any terminal, run /bin/fgetty-login
2. Enter login name and password
3. Login fails with "checkpassword: wrong password"
Running "sudo fgetty-login" fails equally.
Could this be a problem with PAM, due to fgetty's login and login2 being
renamed fgetty-login and fgetty
