There's no problem at all. Linux behaves much like Solaris, after logging out 
you get back to kdm or to the console you started from.

The guy simply doesn't know how to explicitly swith virtual consoles under 
Solaris, while he does know how to do it under Linux via an ioctl.

I guess one should look first at whether there's an equivalent of open(1) 
under Solaris. At least under linux, you don't even need ioctls, just fork & 
exec "open -c1 -s -- command arguments"
