I've recently compiled and installed the sources for 4.1-Stable.  I used to
run 4.0-Stable.  The upgrade went fine and I had no trouble rebuilding /etc,
/var, and /usr, but I've noticed some odd things happening.

I'd like to have a login message (/etc/issue in Linux) appear *before* the
login prompt, but the only way I've been able to do this is with the "im"
and "if" options in /etc/gettytab.  The problem is that editing the gettytab
file used to work (when I was running 4.0), but now it doesn't function the
same and my users don't see a message before they log in.  I would very much
like to have a login message on pseudo-terminals when someone logs in
remotely.  Not that it doesn't work at all, it still works for console and
serial connections, but not remote connections (anymore).

Second, before I did a CVSup to 4.1 and rebuilt the world, I was only able
to log in at 9600 baud over a serial connection, but since the update, I
can't connect at 9600 anymore.  Amazingly, I can now only connect at 115200
which was previously impossible.  I'm not complaining about this one, but I
haven't been able to find any information on the -current mailing list or
anywhere else regarding this... have there been some changes?  Why can I not
connect at 9600 anymore?  All I receive when I create a 9600 baud connection
are funny characters and symbols.

Any help with either of these problems would be greatly appreciated!
