Thanks.  But I'm not sure what to do w/ the "patch from login.c" that
Christopher mentioned.  I installed the shadow package sources
and looked at login.c, but I can't see that he had made any changes.
I think that your changes will work for us (I don't think any of our
automated tests will login incorrectly ...:) ). 

Thanks again!

Mike

Yeah, missed that. The mingetty program displays the first string and gets 
the user name, and then passes on to the /bin/login program which handles
the 
display for all subsequent tries. So with these programs you'd have to make 
both my and Christopher's changes.
