Here is what you got to do. Edit your /etc/ttys file. There you see your ttyE0 standing on secure and the others off secure. Put ttyE1-E3 on secure and there you go. Btw, alt-F2 wont work. Use always ALT-CTRL-F2 or F3 and then it works. Btw, first make the changes active after you editted the file. Sincerely, Reinoud.
