In systemd, if people want to configure line-specific getty configuration they should just copy /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service to /etc/systemd/system/getty@ttyS0.service and edit it there. Since systemd will first look for instantiated unit files, and only then fall back to generic template this should do the right thing. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc.
