We solved the problem if /etc/ttys, /etc/ttytype(s), etc. by instuting a
file, /etc/tty.config, which contains all the information.  Then, you just
run a command "chgttys" which 1. throws you into the editor to change the file,
2. runs an awk program which updates all the others, and 3. pokes init.  This
way, you only have one file to change, and you are guaranteed that all the 
others are all consistent.
