Sun Managers:
I received responses from a few managers and they said they used the
admintool's serial port manager to change the login prompt. I was not
successful when I used the tool to change the prompt.
I finally tried to configure the port for hardwire
or a direct connection only. The prompt did change
when the port was configured in this mode. Apparently there must be
a bug in the ttymon process that issues a default "login: " prompt when
bidirectional mode of operation is configured for a port. If output only
is configured, I have been successful in changing the prompt.
