     Can anybody tell me what revoke() and login_tty() do?  revoke()
takes a path to a terminal device and login_tty() takes a file
descriptor to an open terminal device.  I found these two functions in
getty.  I am trying to port the BNR2/NetBSD version of getty to ULTRIX
4.1.  The native getty doesn't work when I have modem control enabled
