	Chris,

	I ran into a similar problem with some of our lab machines.
	The cause was not having the psuedo tty devices defined
	it the /etc/ttys file. Make sure you have ttyp?? entries
	enabled for login in /etc/ttys ( or /etc/inittab if you
	are using the ATT init/getty/login ).
	
	You will also want similar entries in /etc/ttytype.
