It works perfectly when I test locally here, so it would be helpful if you
could provide the actual modifications you are making to work out what you are
doing wrong.

Some wild guesses would be:

* A typo in /etc/gettytab
* Didn't change /etc/ttys to reflect a new entry in gettytab
* Forgot to send a HUP to init

But without more specific information about what you have changed, we're just
wasting our time.
