Neither of these exists.  There is nothing corresponding to getty.std
unless you count the ancient auto-bauding entries.  getty.38400 is
spelled std.38400.  The default (in /etc/ttys) is std.9600 for all
lines.  This should never be used for modern modems.  It should be
changed to avoid providing a bad example.  Use std.115200 if possible,
else std.57600 if possible, else std.38400...

The lock device only contains flags.  The default settings are strored in
the INITIAL-STATE device.

This is done when the port is opened.  It doesn't matter what the settings
are when the port isn't being used.
