I want to have my .logout script put a rasterfile on the screen when I
logout on a workstation. Using "if (`tty` == /dev/console)" I can reject
logins from the dialup ports and rlogin sessions, the file server has
/dev/ttya as its console. My first misguided attempt to check if
/dev/console is the same as /dev/ttya caused the server to panic with a
bus error. Any suggestions?

Assuming that your /etc/ttytype correctly identifies the type of your
console terminal as something other than "sun" when the console is to an
ASCII terminal through ttya, you can just check the "$TERM" environment
variable to see if it's "sun"... For example:
if ((`tty` == /dev/console) && ($TERM == sun)) then
display_raster
endif

Thanks to all who responded. I must have had a mental block because I was
already doing something along those lines in my .login file. The relevant
lines in my .logout file are now:
if ("`tty`" == /dev/console && "$TERM" == sun) then
clear
screenload ~/.logoutscreen
endif
As to the other thing I hinted about:
cat /dev/console /dev/ttya
^D
does not cause a bus-error panic after upgrading to SunOS-4.0.3.
