The ttys file is reloaded by restarting init, kill -HUP 1. There are two
things that I've seen go wrong with this, and haven't reported because
I thought they were my fault; so tell me if you see them:

	1) Init then starts up a second init, which, FreeBSD won't let you kill.
	2) Some things, like removal of a pppd on cuaa3, won't take affect if
	you comment them out or even delete the line.

Otherwise you should be fine. I guess I must have fucked something up :-)
