- set controlling tty for /etc/rc so that ctrl-c can be passed to hung
services (#184340)
I don't have the permission to read the bug, so I could be interpreting
this wrong.
You do *not* want users to be able to press ctrl-c during boot up.
Otherwise they can completely fsck the starting of daemons or commands
(like remounting / rw), possibly causing a serious security breach. This
is also a disaster for a kiosk where random malicious joe blows can
screwup and stop the boot.
I filed a bug circa 1997ish to fix the "can press control-c during
bootup" problem. Lets not go backwards.
