... Normally, yes. Not before releases, though.  

But I just tried commenting out the console line in /etc/ttys on the
5000/150, and rebooted, and xdm *still* starts okay.

And either with or without that, ps shows xfs's tty as `d-'.

I guess that's because xdm starts an xconsole which grabs the console
device. 

But with or without the getty,
	xfs=YES
	xdm=YES
still seems to still work on my machine!

OK. Does using a `nohup' for xfs in /etc/rc work?  There's already a
nohup in the standard setup, so that's an acceptable fix.

Or maybe just redirect std{in,out,err} to /dev/null ?
