Live User Signed Into All tty's 1-6

Why is my Live user signed into tty1 - 6?

A few details explaining the only changes I've made:

I downloaded Linux Mint 12. Burned, booted, and installed to hard drive. Performed updates. Downloaded Remastersys from repos. Remastered with updates (so I don't have to download them any more). I burn and boot the remastered updated Linux Mint 12. I log in and find that my user is logged into all the ttys 1-6. I hit Ctrl + Alt + F1-6 and try to exit with exit command, but it won't let me exit any tty.

This happend also with Linux Mint Julia. With Julia I also had my admin user signed in on boot (I can't tell this is happening on 12 yet). I can never sign out live. When I reinstall to hard disk from updated remaster, this doesn't happen. I mean, my admin is not signed at gdm prompt. And, no one is sigend into the tty's except the last one, I think F7 for xsession or whatever that is. Additionally, if I remaster with multiple accounts, those accounts are not signed in. They can sign in and out without a hitch.

What's going on with my Live session? How can I stop my Live user from being signed in automatically?

remastersys makes bootable ISO livecd's lacking any user data or passwords. Naturally people will expect to be able to login to a livecd without passwords.

Its a very clever tool, and does copy user data and passwords. It can perform an entire backup of your home folder and drop it on a live cd. Password and all.

Hey can any one help? Im doing this tcreate a distro to help artists keep there privacy, thats why it needs to run live. Im not getting paid. No other distro exists like it. Its one of a kind.

Check in /etc/inittab perhaps

Even with a password, nothing(except potentially, an encrypted filesystem) stops someone else from getting full control of media they can use as they please.
