Package: util-linux
Version: 2.33.1-0.1+devuan1~beowulf2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I made a Devuan container on Debian Bullseye by
mmdebstrap --components="main contrib non-free" --variant=standard beowulf /var/lib/lxc/devuan/rootfs http://deb.devuan.org/merged

Then I commented-in the last line in /etc/inittab of Devuan as

# Example for systemd-nspawn
# Only /dev/console exists inside nspawn, so we need a getty on that.
# Also make sure to comment out the gettys on tty* above.
C0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -8 --noclear --keep-baud console 115200,38400,9600

"lxc-start -F -n devuan" works fine and it allows login.
On the other hand, when the Devuan container is started by
"systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/lxc/devuan/rootfs -b",
typing "root" to "login: " just says "Login incorrect" without asking password.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
