Really? Because I would really think that clocal would be the absolute correct thing to check for, and if it is, then don't have a delay. And if it's not, then a delay is in order. And all kind of local monitors and keyboards, who run getty should be clocal.

You need to open the device to check to see if clocal is set.

Yes. Is that a problem?

With getty, it has to open the device anyway. And then it's just a question of doing a delay at close if it is not. Seems like the most natural thing.
