Package: mingetty
Version: 0.9.4-7
Severity: normal

Hi...  Though documented in the man page the --long-hostname option does not
appear to work.  Example: these lines in my /etc/inittab file produce the
same login prompt on the virtual consoles:

   1:S12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
   2:S12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --long-hostname tty2

Output on tty1 and tty2 is (indented for clarity):

   Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 etain tty1

   etain login:

Shouldn't tty2 show:

   Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 etain tty1

   etain.bhive.dhs.org login:

Thanks for looking into it.  Let me know if I can be more help.
