Hi,
I'm using openrc (0.9.8.4) and I don't use any (graphical) login
manager. After some upgrade of openrc (not too long ago), something
clears the screen just before I'm offered to log in.
But I'd like to see the last messages of openrc.
What gets executed just before I can login? Or, where can I stop
blanking the terminal just before login.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

I like this myself but I do find myself in your situation sometimes.
Try here:
/etc/bash/bash_login
Hope that helps.

From util-linux-2.20.1-r1.ebuild:
pkg_postinst() {
elog "The agetty util now clears the terminal by default. You"
elog "might want to add --noclear to your /etc/inittab lines."
}
Maybe it's this?
Regards.

Both replies are interesting, but incomplete :
(1) to which line in inittab do we add '--noclear' ?
(2) what do we put in bash_login ? -- 'man bash' doesn't help.
I'm still using earlier versions of Openrc & Util-linux
& don't want to encounter this when they hit stable.

To the line for the terminal you don't want to be cleared. I only added
it to tty1:
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux --noclear
> (2) what do we put in bash_login ? -- 'man bash' doesn't help.
Nothing you would put there would help. It's about preventing the
clearing of the terminal. There's nothing you can do after it has been
cleared.

Edit /etc/inittab and change
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
to
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux
It is mentioned in an elog message.
