I can't say I've ever done it on a RaQ, but I've done it on other linux boxes. The stuff you're looking for is probably in the /etc/inittab file. I can't see any reference to a config menu on our Raq, but it's not a 3i, so yours may be different. You'll probably have a line like: 1:12345:respawn:/sbin/config-menu ttyS0 or some such. You should be able to bind it to a login prompt by replacing it with: 1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 then running /sbin/telinit q To make init re-read the config file. There's a few examples, as well as all the getty command line params in the man page. Best of luck & have happy new year to all, John _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
