Hi Ken,

thanks for replying.

As you suggested I tried to put the agetty.exe into bin dir, and I modified the inittab file to use it instead of the busybox getty; I tried the following command line into inittab:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

--- Quote Start ---

::respawn:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyS0[/b]

--- Quote End ---

but the login behavior seems to be the same,"Login incorrect". May be I&#39;m using a wrong cmd line ... (?)

The delay between the username insert and the password request seems to be a bit greater than using the standard filesystem.

As for the mount question :

1) yes, I&#39;m using the busybox mount cmd

2) the file system permissions for /dev/mtdblock1 are "brw-------" and for /usr/apps directory are "drwxr-xr-x"

I built the filesystem using the NiosII IDE, but I didn&#39;t find any place there where to change files and dirs permissions.

Thanks

Fab
