My reading of ttys.c was that when it is executed, it impacts only the console line of the file, and performs a modification of the file in-place (modulo a temporary file on the way through, as most editors do). If the user has made changes to the console configuration that affect the ttys file, those changes will be applied potentially after the user has edited ttys, it is true. It's not clear to me what the best way to account for this is--perhaps to apply ttys changes immediately during console configuration, or perhaps simply to note in the dialog that pops up before editing /etc/ttys that some changes will be applied later as part of console configuration. That said, there is a name collision (well, not in C, but in my head) between configTTYs and configTtys, and I should probably fix that. Do you have any suggests on how to make these co-exist best?
