Change the "default" entry in /etc/gettytab.

On a 3.2-STABLEsustem (from the 19990812 snapshot), the default line looks
like:

	default:\
        	:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:

You can change it to something like this for fun:

	default:\
        	:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\nOpenVMS\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:

It is also trivial to hack login(1) to say "Username:" to instead of
"login:".  As you might have guessed, I did this to a FreeBSD 3.0 system
about nine months ago.
