Huh? What system was this suggestion for? As I understand pseudo tty's,
you need a program hooked to the back of them. I'm not aware that
we have such a program, so I doubt they'd work.

Copying the tty01 line would work. :-) I think it should go something like:
tty00 "some getty command" vt100 off secure

the order of the words after the getty command is important, but should
be the same as the other lines in ttys.

Good luck!
