>Description:

The init page mentions - in one paragraph - that /etc/ttys can be used to
start a daemon, similar to the SysV /etc/inittab. This doesn't include an
example, and there don't seem to be any such examples.

>How-To-Repeat:

Read the man page and look for examples.

>Fix:

Here's a patch to add an example - turned off - to /etc/ttys.
