>Description:
	In /etc/gettytab, the three lines below are not valid.
	Using the 'np' flag will override any 'ep', 'op' or 'ap' flags
	(have a look at /usr/src/libexec/getty/subr.c).
	I suppose these lines are from some older incarnation of getty.

	#  np:ep:  same as np except inpck.
	#  np:op:  same as np:ep except for parodd (but parodd is overridden).
	#  np:ap:  same as np except istrip.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Use ':np:ep:', ':np:op:' or ':np:ap:' in a gettytab entry.

>Fix:
	Remove the three lines from /etc/gettytab.
