Often the reason you want single user mode is to investigate possible breakins, or do filesystem operations that network access would be seriously dangerous. Having networking in rcS means single user mode.... isn't. I'll register a bug tommorrow unless I see compelling arguements that the current way is the right way. Figured I would at least float it on the list first to figure out if someone had an explaination I was missing. -Sean -- Sean Dague sean@dague.net There is no silver bullet.
