I don't know if this is of any help or not.  I have recently worked
with the getty and login software on sysV on an ATT3b2.  We were having
similar problems where we would setup certain modes in gettydef (?) and
they would be reset during login and password input.  Because of this I
wrote my own replacement software so the modes would be handled
correctly...we had to talk to a telex machine through a converter box
and could not get the modes to stay the way we needed them for the
login process.  Mt Xinu software does indeed set modes to default
values and then resets them after login to those defined in gettydef. 
I imagine the stuff on Apollo is the same.  I don't know if you would
consider that a bug or a design feature ;-(  I think they are all like
that.  If you want it different, you'll probably have to write your
own.  Too bad, eh?
