The correct path is acually /mit/xdm/@sys/bin/config_console (note the
insertion of bin), but it's only compiled for the RT.  I compiled a
version for the vax, and ran that.  (It's /mit/dkk/config_console.vax,
but needs to be made setuid-root before it will work, so you're better
off waiting for one in xdm/vax_bsd43/.)

Running "config_console" without the -config option does a -hide.  The
program also takes a -show option.
