I think so:

---------------------
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure

# Define the console that we actually run getty on.
ttye0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
---------------------

I've actually never looked at that file, much less touched it, but
those settings seem to be okay to me.

Still digging,
