sulogin timeout, in /etc/init.d/checkroot

1997-12-23 Thread Nathan E Norman
Now that we're using rcS.d rather than /etc/init.d/boot, I've noticed
some different behavior from 'sulogin'.  I have SULOGIN=yes, so I have
a chance to go single-user on reboot.  However, the timeout does not
work!  If I reboot the machine, I must physically hit ^D to continue
the boot, no matter what the timeout is set to in /etc/init.d/rootcheck.

For now, I've set SULOGIN=no, but I liked the old way better.  Anyone
else had trouble with this, or is it just me?

BTW, I've been running hamm for a month or so now; I try to update at
least weekly.

It's a bug in init caused by different signal behaviour in libc6, it
doesn't have anything to do with /etc/rcS.d

I'll fix it in 2.73, but I cannot release that yet because I have to
clear up some conflicts with the maintainer of ``kbd'' (conflicts between
our respective packages, that is :))

Ah!  Ok, thanks for clearing that up.  I can live without sulogin for a
while :)
