Well I'm not sure if it's relatedm but I recall fixing errors related
with ssh (don't remember if it was the server or the client) disabling
PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt, or was it the PrivilegeSeparation thing.
Cannot remember, but yes in general the terminal is fuxxored, and I
don't relly know where is the problem: /dev/tty, init, getty...

So if someone can take a look at that, would be very nice. I'll start on
the resolver bug once I've finished with some other stuff pending.

If it's only a matter of gpm, we will be able to have vim at last. :>
