These files have confused many people in the past. Thanks to some good work |
| 10 |
by Martin Schlemmer, we now have these files set up exactly the way they |
| 11 |
should be. Unfortunately, some apps like agetty cater to Linux systems that |
| 12 |
have them set up the wrong way. I agree that it would be a good idea to find |
| 13 |
a patch for agetty to fix this cosmetic issue. |
