Oh, I'm betting someone knows and they either didn't get your message (because they aren't on the list) or didn't reply (because they didin't want to spend their time that way). > /boot/grub/grub.cfg: > menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.37-1-686 (recovery mode)' > > do to the terminal in order to enable interaction after one enters the > root passwd? It doesn't do anything special. /sbin/init runs /sbin/sulogin (which may or may not prompt for a pasword) on that vt. It does this because the "single" kernel command-line argument included in that menu entry has init start in the "S" runlevel. I'm not sure that /etc/rc.local is run with a controlling terminal. Sure, it's output appears on the console, but that can certainly be done without having a controlling terminal. If is doesn't have a controlling terminal, it is likely difficult to impossible to has it receive Ctrl+C, since some program attached to the terminal will swallow the key event (possibly, but not necessarily sending SIGINT to selected children as it does). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
