Beside getty login, SVR4 also supports another login via ttymon. Typically getty login is used for console and ttymon login is used for terminal. In ttymon login, init fork-exec program sac (sevice access controller). sac fork-exec ttymon when system enters multiuser state. ttymon monitors all terminal ports listed in the configuration file. When user logs in, ttymon fork-exec program login. Note that the parent of login is now ttymon while the parent for getty is init.
