I needed it to be "on-the-fly" because i can't know in advance the number of concurrent users. Because X in not ran as root, its process can't add tty. I saw a workaround in the Xdummy code <http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/Xdummy>. This hack uses LD_PRELOAD to change standard system "open" function behavior and create a fifo "on-the-fly". This fifo is opened in place of the tty. The fifo is only used to trick X and let some test pass. In my case, -sharevts worked well so preferred to avoid this acrobatic hack. I understand but in my case, it renders the second seat almost impossible to work on.
