Hello, I've notice if you are logged into a virtual console and then access a new virtual console by, say pressing alt-F7, vcon will automatically log you into the new virtual console. The problem that I've encountered is that the group is set to root, not the group specified in /etc/passwd. Does anybody have a fix for this. I'm currently putting newgrp in my .profile, but this leads to more problems. In my .profile I check to see which console I'm on and then execute a file if it exists called .session_#, where # is the console number. Since I have to do a newgrp first, I set a variable NEWLOGIN for export. I then check to see if NEWLOGIN is set in my ENV file. If it is I unset NEWLOGIN, and then execute the .session file. This is a lot of trouble needless to say. If any one has a patch for vcon I would sure appreciate it.
