  I can give you half a solution... in the .profile you can start
another copy of shell which is running on the other virtual terminal.
The line looks like:
  /bin/sh </dev/tty10 >/dev/tty10 2>&1 &

  The problem (I *said* it was half a solution) is that the interrupt
key doesn't work. I just gave up and implemented a hack that allows me
to sign in on a number of VT's and kill them all when the master login
ends. This allows me to live with the problem, although I would really
like to do just what you said.
