yes running in multi user mode gives same result.

ok, so here you can see the processes and the pid of

ps -A | grep console     (just after the system boot - before launching 
the console)
               PID
   root         7  - So    0:00.04 /hurd/term /dev/console device console

here are the console processes after shutting down the console 
(ctrl+alt+backspace)

ps -A | grep console    (just after closing the console)
            PID
root         7  - So    0:00.28 /hurd/term /dev/console device console
root        43  - So    0:00.01 /hurd/console

   I dont know how or if i can see the processes while im in the 
console, because when i am in, i see nothing.

   I have observed that when I launch the console, the num lock turns 
off, and while i am in the console, i can turn on/off the numlock.

I really dont know if it has any connection, because i am very new to 
hurd, but if i want to run "/libexec/console-run ps" for example it 
tells me
   setid: operation not permitted . Same error with "/libexec/runttys"

Maybe there is a conflict with the translators (like keyboard translator 
for example, but i doubt it)

hope that helps :/
