Now that I can agree with. Getty has never been a friendly place. I also think this belongs in Getty despite Warners concern that you can not turn it off, as Getty alread does Termios stuff, which you control via /etc/ttys, so there is a place to make a knob should it be implemented in getty. This is a specific issue to hardwired terminals, which is what getty was written for. It could also fixes the issues that I have pointed out in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10642 with col/row not being reset between logins which yields the propose patch ineffective. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
