  Probably it worked. Duke told us that he didn't get nothing. That's
correct. You don't get nothing (messages) if "init" rescans /etc/ttys and
there's nothing wrong. I guess Duke wanted something like "to
re-initialize" quickly the system with that command. Simply, it doesn't do
that thing.

  It's a matter of taste if it should issue a warning/error or not, in this
case. Probably it's ignored or interpreted as 0... I don't have time to
check the sources right now.
