I have most of the prompts in /etc/gettydefs changed so that the
login prompt is slightly more informative.  When I look in /etc/inittab
however, the prompt for a telnet login (win tcp/ip 4.10) apparently
comes from the ntty line in /etc/inittab which uses the vtty line
in /etc/gettydefs.  There is no login text after the appropriate prompt
there, however, so the question (it may be a dumb one) is where does
the word login come from when telneting in, and can it be changed?

Thanks
