I think, it's not the answer to the question, but I'm interesting it in this
``feature'' of login. I've stock 2.1R, and tried it, but doesn't work.
I've modified the master.passwd, but with no success. Any other information
about it? (I use the md5 generated passwd, not the DES version)
And I'm interested in, how to change the Passwd: prompt, without modifying
the login source. That @program would be nice.
