No, that wasn't a prompt for a boot loader password. No such thing exists on mainframe Linux. (Or if it does, and no one told me, I certainly haven't turned it on.) That was from the 3215 console after issuing the telinit command. It comes from /sbin/sulogin, which is what is invoked via /etc/inittab in single user mode: # what to do in single-user mode ls:S:wait:/etc/init.d/rc S ~~:S:respawn:/sbin/sulogin Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
