Virtual Consoles disabled

Running UBUNTU Hoary, GNOME 2.10.0.

Since a fairly recent update, I find I no longer have LOGIN running on 
the lower Virtual Consoles.  If I switch out, all I have is a blank 
screen (or the last screen-full of boot output).  Clearly I got 
something mis-configured. 

Can anyone advise me what application is supposed to fire off the 
various VC's.  I would imagine it's in INIT, but that's not something to 
play with blindly I suspect.  As it is, I can function using a terminal 
session and su; if I screw up INIT I might not be able to do anything at 
all.
