Hi, your solution is not save enough... It can be changed by the user. It has 
to be "over the user-level".

I solved it with  this script:
-----
#!/bin/bash

clear
exec /sbin/getty 38400 $1
-----

And in the inittab i have then:
1:2345:respawn:/root/bin/shell tty1

The disadvantage about this approach is that if i loose the "shell" script i 
wont be able to log into my system without tweaking with a second system...

cheers,
Raffaele
