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.
