This is one of the uses that the "flags" field of /etc/ttys was always intended for. Flag "d" means dialup, "p" means public. The distinction between public CRT and public hardcopy terminals has not been kept, since nothing ever made any distinction anyway. Normal private terminals get no flag at all, simplifying matters. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
