any tty, any time?  Or is there already an elegant way of doing it I 
haven't heard of?
That's actually not so trivial to do, unless you have an intermediate program translating the control codes for your attached terminal (unless you're talking not about any tty, but just about the virtual consoles)

how about this:  use screen as your login shell
