Subject: Can't log in right on console to accounts in CAPS.

I created special accounts (all in CAPS). [on a sun sparcstation II running
SunOS 4.1.1 (B?).  There is no password to these accounts

Logging on via the ethernet does what it expected.

Logging in via the console converts everything it prints to CAPS, does
unexpected things (doesn't change directories right via the passwd file) and
prints lots of characters with a backslash in front of them.

I think the login programs checks for uppercase accounts on consoles (although
I'm not sure).

I'm pretty sure this once worked.  Any ideas?
