Sorry I didn't get around to reviewing this right away.

login_tty could end up closing the pipe if stdin/out/err were
initially closed in the parent, since p[1] might be 0/1/2 in that
case. I think we need to check for this and move p[1] to a new fd in
that case (and fail if that fails) before calling login_tty.

This read probably needs to retry-loop, in case the parent has
interrupting signal handlers.

I think waitpid could in principle fail too, but it probably shouldn't
since the process is already dead at the time waitpid is called.

Otherwise it looks okay now.
