We removed UWS altogether. As to the console mode, we have *two* potential
/etc/ttys files, one called /etc/ttys.X11, with the line
console "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure # console terminal
and one called /etc/ttys.noX11 with:
console "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure # console terminal
while the startup code in /etc/rc.local looks like:
if [ -f /usr/local/bin/X11/xdm -a -f /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config ]
then
cp /etc/ttys.X11 /etc/ttys
/usr/local/bin/X11/xdm -config /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config;
echo -n ' xdm' >/dev/console
else
cp /etc/ttys.noX11 /etc/ttys
fi
You can obviously refine this to allow for recovery if launching xdm fails, etc.
