Do you really want it to serve the console screen at all?  It
isn't necessary - you can let xinetd fire up new connections
on demand to any number of different people at once.  The
k12ltsp repackage of fedora has this set up by default.  I'm
not sure if the configuration is a stand-alone RPM package
that you can load on a stock fedora or not.  The users each
get their own independent session.
