a) the virtual console "garbage characters" is a known problem with
getty parity. See the install notes for pcvt in the source tree; I
think you want to add the "np" flag to the generic getty entry.
b) the vt225 was added by me. It appears that at least on lola neither
vt225 nor vt200/vt220 works quite right--for one scrolling is slightly
confused; for the other the last line is often left with previous text.
c) re: password stuff. A program I recently discovered and might be
much more useful for xlogin & login & friends is "chpass". The -a
option is useful for adding accounts. (Doesn't seem to be a remove
function, though).
