At least in the version of getty I have installed (in util-linux 2.10q-1),
-l specifies an alternate to /bin/login:
getty [-ihLmnw] [-f issue_file] [-l login_program] [-I
init] [-t timeout] [-H login_host] port baud_rate,...
[term]
...
-l login_program
Invoke the specified login_program instead of
/bin/login. This allows the use of a non-standard
login program (for example, one that asks for a
dial-up password or that uses a different password
file).
