From: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya@MIT.EDU>

System name:		quickstation-11-1.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 8.4.17
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6 SVGA

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		mwm

What were you trying to do?
	Login on a Linux machine using console mode (^P from xlogin)

What's wrong:
	/sbin/getty appears to use a non-kerberized login binary
	(/bin/login I would imagine) which prevented me from
	logging in.

What should have happened:
	I should've been able to log in on the console as myself.
	Perhaps getty should be told to use /usr/athena/etc/login.krb5
	for that particular VT.
