fgrep rcsid /usr/src/libexec/getty/main.c:
static char rcsid[] = "$Id: main.c,v 1.10.2.2 1996/12/31 05:50:28 msmith Exp $";
>Description:
gettytab(5) says there are macros %m, %s, %r and %v that one can use to
display portions of the utsname structure in the initial banner message.
I inserted the following line in /etc/gettytab to keep my banner message
up to date:
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n %s %r (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
But getty printed
(sliphost37.uni-trier.de) (vty00)
instead of
FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE (sliphost37.uni-trier.de) (vty00)
>How-To-Repeat:
Change /etc/gettytab to match the line above, log yourself out and
watch, whether getty will print out all information.
>Fix:
The reason for the problem was easy to find. main.c declares
struct utsname kerninfo;
but actually never calls uname(3) to assign reasonable values to it.
Therefore the four macros only print empty strings.
The following small diff solves the problem. It calls uname(3) to
initialize kerninfo. In the unexpected case that this fails, kerninfo is
assigned some (more or less) reasonalbe default values.
