I would like to report an inconsistency with the kerberos
implementation of login and the SunOS4.1.x version of login.
Please see the excerpt from the 'fbtab' man page below.
I have modified login.c to perform this function. If anyone
is interested I can send the code modifications.
From the man page.
FBTAB(5) FILE FORMATS FBTAB(5)
NAME
fbtab - framebuffer table
SYNOPSIS
/etc/fbtab
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/fbtab file contains information that is used by
login(1), getty(8) and the window system (for example, sun-
view(1)) to change the owner, group, and permissions of win-
dow system devices upon logging into or out of a console
device. By default, all lines in this file are commented
out. That is, all window security is disabled. To enable
window security, edit /etc/fbtab, log out, and log back in.
You must edit this file before window security can be
enabled.

If the changes are under a an appropriate #ifdef for SUN OS, and they're
not derived from proprietary code, so you can give us a permission to
redistribute your changes, we would be more than happy to include them
in our next distribution of Kerberos V5 code. As you must have noticed,
our login was derived from BSD 4.3, so it very naturally did not have
Sun OS specific code. If the code is Sun proprietary code, though, we
will be unable to redistribute it.
