3B2/400 console munged

I just put up a 3B2/400S60 with SVR3.2 with an old AT&T 4425
terminal as the console and am getting some strange things
happening.  Non-root users cannot change their passwords
from the console (it simply says "Sorry").  If you login as
root on the console and attempt to change password, it will
select a password for you without asking for input!  In addition,
the break and delete keys don't seem to work either.  Oh yes,
non-root users also cannot su to root from the console.  You
get the same "Sorry" message.

>From other ports, everything works fine.

I know it must be something simple--so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
