Under Unix-like OS's, you can run any program you like in place of the login
by modifying the /etc/inittab file.  Under Xenix there is a somewhat obscure
thing you can do in /etc/gettydefs to cause a program besides getty to run.

Someone else posted something about /etc/ttys.  I think the above info is
correct.
