I think he's referring to: /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off when dropping the user into bash. Not sure why this is. Might have to do with the fact that init isn't running yet... or else we might need to do some redirection with 'sh' before starting it, like: /bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1 or some such... -Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
