what do you want to hide it for? you could probably change l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1 to l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2 but i cant imagine why someone would want to hide an init level from others. especially if they can't get to it without root access(?). debian does prompt for the root password when entering single user mode. at least on IA32 .. nate
