>Description:

	There are shortcomings in ttys(5) when compared to the way
	/etc/ttys is parsed by /sbin/init.  The following patch
	describes the way /sbin/init behaves.  I believe this
	description is more appropriate here since init(8) refers
	to ttys(5), and any other program wanting to parse /etc/ttys
	should do so in the same manner as init.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Code inspection.

>Fix:
