Honestly, I'm still feeling dubious as to the proper usage of the /etc/ttys, with respect of network secure login. According to the man page, I can set secure if the fourth field is "on". But question is on what? The second field is "none", because no getty initialises the line in that case. Also, I would assume that setting "on" a pseudo device would tend to confuse the init, that would have "none" to start with. However, I tried it out, with no success. I'll eventually keep trying later .. :-) Just for the record, as far as I remember right: in similar cases other BSD-ish systems, like SunOS, don't need the secure option in their equivalent (I think) /dev/ttytab file, despite they even lack the accessory file /etc/login.access Thanks, Marco M.
