  Ok.  I didn't really expect the telnetd changes to get committed,
  but if the getty stuff isn't going to be fixed then support
  for it should be removed, and the man page changed to reflect
  such (talking about bin/1664 - libexec/getty and gettytab.5 )
 
  I'm not sure why it is considered harmful(?) either, but thats why
  i'm not doing the commits, and you guys are :)
 
  Regards,
    Peter
