	I am attempting to write a new getty to run on an IBM RT running
     AIX ( SYSV ).  The client for our package wants a friendlier logon
     screen based upon curses.  They want two methods of logging on.  
	 If they give a userid/passwd combo then they will enter into our 
	 package. If they enter UNIX for the userid they want to get a 
	 regular unix login.  
	 
	 My problem is that when I exec '/bin/login', login only prompts 
	 for the userid, and always lets the user in without asking for
    a passwd.  The best I can tell is that '/dev/tty' is not being 
    associated with the control group.  The reason that the user is
    not prompted for a passwd is that 'getpass' tries to open '/dev/tty'
    and when it can't it return's NULL which login is not expecting.

	Can any body validate my observations, and hopely tell me how
    to attach '/dev/tty' to the control group.
