>Description:
A user with login name _ can not login correctly in text console.
When a user with login name _ (underscore) tries to authorize in any text terminal he does not get an invitation to enter password, i.e. a system return an invitation to enter a login name again.
>How-To-Repeat:
You should create a user with his login name _.
Then, if you login as _ on any terminal you don not get an invitation to enter password.
>Fix:
You can enter some characters as login name (without enter) and delete them, then enter _ and press enter. Or you can set a wrong login name and password. Right after any of these actions you get an invitation to enter password for a user with login name _.
