[techtalk] Is this normal?

The following lines show up on a ps -eaf | more

root       218     1  0 11:38 tty2     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
root       219     1  0 11:38 tty3     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux

root       221     1  0 11:38 tty5     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
root       222     1  0 11:38 tty6     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

Is this normal? I -think- this is just place-holder, but I don't really know what is going on here or if it is a good thing or a bad thing. Any information would be appreciated! Root is not logged in at the time of this ps.

Thank you!
