It's not going to allow multiple login prompts on different VTs on the same
head.
If you have a two headed card you will be able to use SAK on each one
independently. SAK will kill the processes associated with that head, not all of
the heads. If you have two cards each with four head you will be able to run
four people each independently running xserver and SAK.
What you won't be able to do is VT switch to another login screen. These screens
will work like xterms, you switch to one then use su to change identity. When
you switch you will already be logged on.
This is because the SAK screen assigned ownership of the graphics device to the
user id that is logged on. That let's the graphics code run without the need to
be a root process.
