The manual pages for sys V unix state that the prompt you get to
log in comes from a field in gettydefs. In customizing my 3B2, I
edited the login field of this file that originally said "login:"
I changed the prompt to something different, but this new prompt
will only show up on the first login attempt. If this login fails
for some reason, the prompt goes back to "login:" even though I
have edited out every occurence of this prompt in /etc/gettydefs.
