>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP i386
>Environment:

960801-SNAP, nothing special, just a modem, and I want to run mgetty on it...
	

>Description:

well... when you install mgetty from the ports collection.. and you do an
installed device... it edits you /etc/ttys file and says the it's secure...
this I find anyoing because the original line didn't have secure plus only
the vtys are normally considered secure...
	

>How-To-Repeat:

install getty...
vi /etc/ttys
see the problem... only warning you have is that it "replaced" my old line
that ran mgetty...
	

>Fix:
	
I haven't taken a look at mgetty but I think this is more of a problem
with mgetty's install than freebsd per se...  but I know that older versions
of mgetty didn't do this so it's unexpected behavior...
