Believe me, Im a novice at this. But it occurred to me . . .

Does it make sense for login, after an invalid password, to exec getty
rather than issue its own login: prompt? This would eliminate the two
login: prompts (surely a goodness), but would it tie login too closely
to getty?

I dont know, just ruminating.
