The message you quoted above suggests that conf.getty already had that
value of LOGIN at the time the athena-kerberos post-install script
ran. I do observe that on my test machine, conf.getty consists of
only four bytes, though (all newlines), so I think something else is
wrong.

They are supported via Ctrl-P at the xlogin window.

I don't get this when I log in as systest on a test machine. It's
rather unexpected, since /usr/athena/lib/init/login just runs
$ZEPHYR_CLIENT with no args, and the default value of ZEPHYR_CLIENT is
just "zwgc". I don't suppose this account sets ZEPHYR_CLIENT or
anything?

I have no idea why that might happen.
