Agreed. I cant see a real benefit to configuring different console variations on a per-TTY basis. It just does not fall into my usage. Its either configured it its not and using vidcontrol in the same way its used within rc.d/syscons is not hard either. Configuration remote terminals would be ideal where the box does not have a single local TTY allocated. -- ;s =;
