Nobody. It's effectively the same as a network daemon (like sendmail,
inetd et al) but it listens to the serial port. When a console gets
attached it starts to do things (like allowing logins for example) -
that's why it's called "get tty" :) - then when you disconnect it stops
again.

Hope this helps
