>Description:
	getty now recognizes a PPP handshake, and invokes whatever
	program is set in the gettytab with the "pp" attribute.
	The "pp" attribute is cryptically referred to as the path
	for a "PPP authentication program" (pppd?).

	However, it would be a good thing to mention this in the
	getty(8) manual page, and provide an example configration.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code examination & documentation search.
