    getty: unset locale before execution · 1640944a
    Lennart Poettering authored
    On the console indian characters cannot be displayed, hence it is
    advisable to disable indian locales on the console, which most
    distributions traditionally did from a shell fragment executed post
    login. If getty gets started with locale settings passed it would itself
    however be translated without the no-indian-on-console fixup applied.
    
    Hence, for now don't pass any locale settings to getty/login, and thus
    rely on the classic post-login script fragment to set and fix the
    locale.
    
    Eventually we probably want to drop this again since the system locale
    should be read and set at one place, and not at multiple, and that one
    place should be PID 1.
