https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211246 Bug ID: 211246 Summary: [syscons] console and ttyv0 competing for keystrokes Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: i386 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: alexander.klein@physiologie.med.uni-giessen.de CC: freebsd-i386@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-i386@FreeBSD.org On my system, ttyv0 and console are competing for keystrokes on the ttyv0-screen. This can be seen when logging in under X, immediately issuing % xconsole -file /dev/console in an xterm, switching to ttyv0 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, and then typing so= me text. In most cases, the typed text will appear in the Xconsole-window, and even = if this doesn't happen immediately, hammering the keys fast enough with a few <Ret>s interspersed will usually make at least some characters appear in the Xconsole-window. This might have security implications when parts of login credentials are redirected. As an aside, things written to /dev/console invariably appear on the ttyv0-screen on my system, but are never passed on to xconsole. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
