RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, the system login prompt always included the host name. Consequently, if the screen was too small, a part of the prompt extended beyond the edge of the screen. With this update, the "login" utility now recognizes the "-H" option, which removes host name from the login prompt. As a result, users are able to see their login information even on small screens.

Description Paulo Andrade 2017-05-04 21:04:34 UTC 
From rhel 6.8 to 6.9 a patch was added to always print
the hostname before the login prompt, as a result of the
bug report #1310035

  It should be possible for people that relied on that
feature to adapt to have the old behaviour. This could
be achieved backporting:
