That's curious:
init(8) on my debian machine:
Runlevel S or s bring the system to single user mode and
do not require an /etc/initttab file. In single user
mode, /sbin/sulogin is invoked on /dev/console.
and init(8) on a Red Hat box:
Runlevel S or s bring the system to single user mode and
do not require an /etc/initttab file. In single user
mode, a root shell is opened on /dev/console.
sulogin(8):
sulogin is invoked by init(8) when the system goes into
single user mode (this is done through an entry in init-
tab(5)). Init also tries to execute sulogin when it is
passed the -b flag from the bootmonitor (eg, LILO).
and in my /etc/inittab:
# What to do in single-user mode.
~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin
You know what to do.
