>Description:
Changing the entry in /etc/gettytab for default for lm does
not result in a change to the login prompt. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit the defaults entry in /etc/gettytab and add the string
"lm=prompt". Then telnet to localhost. You should get a login
query with "login" replaced with "prompt" but you will not.
