how strange ? normally it is run on tty7

well, I tried a hack.

I made a wrapper script to agetty in /usr/local/sbin
and called that wrapper script in inittab:
c1:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/agetty -8 --noclear -s 38400 tty1 linux

the wrapper script is
#!/bin/bash
while /bin/plymouth --ping;
do
        sleep 1
done
exec /sbin/agetty "$@"

It does not work. i.e. agetty is run on tty1 at the same time as the others not later !
I tried with a sleep 120 before the exec line and this time the agetty is run only when on request
i.e. when switching to tty1.
But the password is still in clear.
