I found this code in the login source:

	if (!strcmp(pwd->pw_shell, "/bin/csh")) {
	    ldisc = NTTYDISC;
	    ioctl(0, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
	}

/bin/csh is not the only shell that needs the new tty driver.

I don't know if this check is needed anymore (does the BSD kernel set
new tty as the default?).
