>Description:
getty uses its own gettytab-getting routines, not libc's getcap
routines.  Because of this, its output is inconsistent with that
of telnetd; e.g. \: vs \c.  It should be upgraded to use the getcap(3)
routines.

>How-To-Repeat:
try a 'default' gettytab entry containing a \: in the login
banner.  look at the banner on console and logged in over the
network.

>Fix:
kill gettytab.c and replace necessary function calls.
