	Some people may find this useful:

	to start up programs on VC's, without having to login on every one,
	remove/replace the getty's in /etc/inittab (leave one), and use the
	dynamic-vc package from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/console
	and commands like:

        open -c 3 -- su -
        open -c 4 -- su -
        open -c 5 -- su -
        open -c 6 -- su - gps
        open -c 6 -- su - gps -c openwin &

	ie I login as root, run that script and it does the rest.
	I'm even considering removing the need to login as root,
	and have it simply boot into that mode.
