From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: When logging in on a console and my login is typed incorrect, I only have the option to retype my passwd and not Login until eventually it times out. eg: Login: riit (instead of root) passwd: enigma (correct passwd) passwd: enigma passwd: This is quite annoying when it doesnt give you the login option again. I have reinstalled the Util-Linux package for login but still have the same problem. This only seems to happen with 7.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. everytime you login with the incorrect spelling of username 2. 3. Actual Results: I was only prompted with passwd option and not login option Expected Results: I should have been prompted with login and then passwd again Additional info: See info above
Part of security measures in 7.2 include acting the exact same way whether you enter an incorrect password or incorrect username, to prevent an attacker from fnding out what usernames are valid on the system. Having 3 password prompts is normal.
