| You don't have to log into a getty on every virtual console anymore: |
| just run a single getty on tty1, put this line in your /etc/inittab: |
| |
| kb::kbrequest:/usr/bin/openvt -us |
| |
| and put this in your rc.local (or equivalent): |
| |
| echo "alt keycode 103 = Spawn_Console" | loadkeys |
| |
| Then, once you login, you can press alt-up-arrow to spawn another |
| virtual console. This behavior requires a recent sysvinit package. |
| I used 2.64, but as early as 2.60 might support it. You also must |
| be using the proc filesystem. |
| |
| WARNING: this may circumvent vlock. |
