CentOS - Nov 2011 - CentOS 6: /etc/init/start-ttys.conf ignored

hi

why are tty3-tty6 started after this config change?

i would like to have only tty1 finally becasue on a virtual machine
there is no need for the other processes since CTRL+ALT+Fx is caught
by the own system and remote console mostly not needed at all

[root at centos ~]# cat /etc/init/start-ttys.conf
#
# This service starts the configured number of gettys.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]

env ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-2]
env X_TTY=/dev/tty1
task
script
        . /etc/sysconfig/init
        for tty in $(echo $ACTIVE_CONSOLES) ; do
                [ "$RUNLEVEL" = "5" -a "$tty" =
"$X_TTY" ] && continue
                initctl start tty TTY=$tty
        done
end script

[root at centos ~]# ps aux | grep tty
root      1626  0.0  0.0   4044   540 tty1     Ss+  01:12   0:00 /sbin/mingetty

The script is sourcing in /etc/sysconfig/init which has ACTIVE_CONSOLES
defined; when the file is sourced it overwrites the values you set in
/etc/init/start-ttys.conf.
