The vserver environment doesn't need the getties, sure, but they also don't hurt that much. OTOH a non-virtual system that installs runit-run, and by accident doesn't provide any getty service, is a real pain as there's no possibility to login locally to a console. Users might even think the system didn't boot up correctly. Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
