Subject: agetty: Always call chdir after chroot
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e966f2e93c1c4e4b43e34ae1bfdebe728efb04f8;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git

agetty: Always call chdir after chroot

Since chroot only changes the root directory but not current working
directory, change the current working directory as well. This rebases
all possible future relative paths into the chroot environment as well.
