[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#576786: open-iscsi: Unable to login with initramfs script

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: open-iscsi
Version: 2.0.871.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The initramfs script is not able to login to the target when a
login/password is used. This is due to a bug in the script, the -u
or -w parameters are passed twice to iscsistart. When iscsistart is
called, ISCSI_USERNAME and ISCSI_PASSWORD already contain -u or -w.

The patch below fixes the problem.
