Ihat's a really _very_ bad thing...

Does NetBSD's Xorg NOT have the LeftAlt-Ctrl-F<n> hot key function to
switch to a text mode console? Or is that just disabled by default, as
many Linux Xorg/Gooey^WGUI installations do it by now, somewhere setting
a "ServerFlags" section 'Option "DontVTSwitch" "true"'?
(There's a program, "chvt", that can do the switch too, but that requires
root rights to be used, so it's useless here.)
Creating a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file with just the contents
"Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "true"
EndSection"
_might_ suffice, but it may neccessary to also include a line like
' Option "ServerLayout" "X.org Configured"'
for Xorg to accept it.
Be sure to scan Xorg's log file (Xorg.0.log) whether it had the intended
effect or just rose a warning or an error. Read the Xorg man page!

You do not want to (re)boot a Unix for maintenance purposes only! Do you?
(Ooops, THAT was looong-winded thread!)
