[sysvinit-devel] sulogin merged into util-linux (Re: [PATCH 00/13] Initial import of sulogin)

[Karel Zak]

 CC: to sysvinit upstream and Werner -- guys, sulogin has been merged
 into util-linux, because we believe that sulogin(8) is init independent
 util and it also seems that we can share some virtual console
 initialization code with agetty.

 It would be nice to mark sulogin in sysvinit as deprecated in favour of
 the util-linux version :-)

Merged with some changes:

 - use err.h stuff
 - add long options
 - initialize NLS
 - add --disable-sulogin (enabled by default)
 - use virtual console initialization code from agetty (that's the
   same code used by Suse in the original sulogin in sysvinit).

Thanks!
