I am interested in obtaining a program to create a login on a different
terminal for 4.2BSD.  I am interested in a command, with a name like xfer,
with usage

	xfer ttyname [shell command line]

It would look for the given tty; if it already had a login, it would quit
with an error.  Otherwise, it would kick getty out of the way and create
a login shell (using the SHELL environment variable) running on the new
tty.  The program should duplicate ALL of login's functions, and it should
ensure that /dev/tty points to the new tty.

Thanks (in advance)
