I don't know about ISC, but the SCO node name display actually comes from
/etc/gettydefs.  That is, getty outputs the node name when the gettydefs
file tells it to.  Typical gettydefs entrys look like:

n # B19200 [pre-login stuff] # B19200 [post-login stuff] # \r\n@login: # n
                                                              ^^^^^^^
             the "@" before "login:" is what does the trick   |||||||

If you don't want the node name displayed, then get rid of the "@" and
maybe even the \r\n before it.
