It would be nice to have a --nohostname option (or a customizaton syntax for a /etc/mingettydefs file) so that the hostname is not automatically placed next to the "login:" prompt. It just seems to me one of those things that should be configurable. I'm thinking of the ability to "profile" the OS running on a system because of the inability to remove the hostname. Keep up the great work!
This recommendation has been forwarded to a developer for further consideration.
forwarded the request to the maintainer of the mingetty.
