      Not sure what is going on here… looking through the system log with my embedded 1.2 installation I see the message "login: lognin on console as root" every 15 minutes or so. For example:

      May 8 01:00:02 login: login on console as root
      May 8 00:45:02 login: login on console as root
      May 8 00:30:03 login: login on console as root
      May 8 00:15:02 login: login on console as root
      May 8 00:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 23:45:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 23:35:01 check_reload_status: check_reload_status is starting
      May 7 23:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 23:15:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 23:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 22:45:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 22:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 22:15:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 22:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 21:45:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 21:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 21:15:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 21:00:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 20:45:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 20:30:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 20:15:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 20:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 19:45:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 19:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 19:15:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 19:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 18:45:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 18:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 18:15:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 18:00:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 17:50:49 login: login on console as root
      May 7 17:50:32 check_reload_status: reloading filter
      May 7 17:50:19 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
      May 7 17:50:16 last message repeated 3 times
      May 7 17:50:19 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
      May 7 17:50:12 check_reload_status: reloading filter
      May 7 17:45:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 17:30:02 login: login on console as root
      May 7 17:15:03 login: login on console as root
      May 7 17:00:03 login: login on console as root

      With that type of timing I'm guessing that some process is generating the message.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks.

      P.S. Secure shell is not enabled. However, the message also appears when it is enabled.
