Annoying problem occured this weekend. Started to install a network card.
Then got caught up in an emergencey elsewhere. When I finally got back to
my PC there was not enough time to run wiring and all. So that will have
to wait to next weekend.
So I just closed up the PC with everything installed. This is running Red
Hat 6.1. So I turn it on to go out and get my mail and such. It stops and
asks me if I want to configure the new card. As it is late, there is no
hub installed yet and I am tired I tell it to ignore it and continue. My
usual console login appears for a second then disapears and the level 5 GUI
login shows up. No big deal just set /etc/inittab back to level 3. It is
just annoying that they change the login level without asking. Wait
/etc/inittab is at 3. Boot up again same thing. The try 'linux 3' at lilo
still the same. As it now is getting later I decide to leave it and ask
here in the morning. So could someone please tell me how to get back to a
level 3 login, thanks.

Well I missed it in inittab. I was look for the line:
# default runlevel
id:5:initdefault:
to change it to:
id:3:initdefault:
But my inittab had it set at 3.
Looking for all files in /etc that changed on Sunday I found it was in
inittab. The last lines were
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
x:3:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm - nodaemon
when I changed it to
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm - nodaemon
I was back to normal. So instead of changing '5' to '3' I had to do the
opposite. Now does anyone know why this was done?
