[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#151673: Is this bug you reported still reproducible?

[Christian Perrier]

retitle 151673 [TO CLOSE 20050422] login: weird error message on --- user=
name
tags 151673 unreproducible
thanks

The bug report:

Note: This is sparc64 debian.

When I type "---" (without the quotes) for username at the console login
prompt, I get this error message:

usage: login [-p] [name]
       login [-p] [-h host] [-f name]
       login [-p] -r host

After that, I get the login prompt again.

This doesn't always happen though. However, most of the time it does.

I just find it strange that this is printed. Maybe it is fixed in newer
versions of login...

----------------------------------------------------------

Is it still reproducible=A0? I'm unable to get this behaviour which I
suspect was probably triggered by something completely different
(and now for....:-))).
