I take that back.  Actually, that has to be in /etc/conf.getty to make
the virtual consoles authenticate you properly.

The following bug is still manifest on the VCs, however:

tcsh: No entry for terminal type "unknown"
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
Terminal type? [vt100]

If the user presses enter, the right thing will happen, but it's kind
of annoying for it to not just log you in.
