  Does it matter?  I've fought with this a few time with completely
 contradictory reports from users.  Right now my patience is thin
 since each time I change the way it works somebody tells me I've
 broken it.

  Ultimately I figure now that if you've got SSH installed then
 the behaviour of the console doesn't matter too much .. do you
 disagree?
