Thanks, but the system worked quite well previously.  The *only* changes
that I made were:

 * Swap the disk drive to the new IDE controller.

 * Boot netbsd-current.

I didn't touch any /etc files in this case.  (Though I have recently
modified ttyaction, I have rebooted it several times since, and logins
proceed normally.)

...which reminds me of something that I wanted to ask about; I'll stick it
in another thread, though.  (^&
