There is additional support to run any program, not just getty, on a terminal line, and support for User process window systems, a'la' the X window system here at MIT, or the ITC window system at CMU. Here is an example of one of our /etc/ttys files from here at MIT, in the new format... In addition, opening a terminal line has been moved from init to getty to allow use of init as a "superdaemon" to maintain other daemon programs. These changes have been running here at MIT for some months, and recently went west to Berkeley.
