If you have version 4.3 of Berkeley Unix getty.c (the number refers to SCCS, not the successor of 4.1bsd) there is a line something like: *np = tolower(np); This is obviously wrong. It should be: *np = tolower(*np); I can't remember right now if the first or second "np" was missing the "*", but this could account for getty looping when you try to log in on an upper case terminal. This bug is missing from 4.2 and before, which simply wouldn't let you log in upper case. -------
