    Here is what I see happening:
    1. Login says: "login:"
    2. more says: root:x:0:0..
    3. Login says: "Password:"
    4. more says: bin:x:1:1:...
    5. Login says: "Login incorrect"
    6. Repeat from (1) about 3-5 times.
    7. Login says: "Too many login attempts"
    8. Login kicks you out (like it would if you tried it on the command
    line)
    
    It says /dev/??? because the stdin is a pipe, not a tty.
