>Description:
	In login(1) there is code to syslog when a login is done through
	a dialup tty.  The check it performs looks like this:

	if (tty[sizeof("tty")-1] == 'd')
		syslog(LOG_INFO, "DIALUP %s, %s", tty, pwd->pw_name);
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read the code of login(1)
>Fix:
	One fix might be to add an extra flag in ttys(5) to indicate that
	some tty is a dialup, thus removing the dependency on such ttys to
	be named "ttydX".
