The other option is to switch over to using mingetty instead of Debian's default getty (mingetty is the default used by most RPM-based distros). In your /etc/inittab, you have a few lines that look like: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 ... Change them to: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 The --noclear option specifies that the tty should *not* be cleared on logout -- I use this on tty1 so that my init messages aren't cleared.
