Lane,

POST the output of this and, if you show any files besides /etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu
in the output, please attach them .  If kudzu is the only file, then attach it.
If you have something in /etc/pcmcia/serial, make sure you send that.
You will need to run the command in superuser mode


# rgrep -i -l -r telinit /etc

There is a chance that it is in another directory besides /etc, but

# rgrep -i -l -r telinit /

WILL hang on /proc after showing /proc/kcore and will need to be terminated with
ctrl-C

We are NOT lookiing for files of the nature /home/<username>/<somekindamail>/*,
nor /var/lib/*.rpm, nor /var/lib/*.db if you elect to do this more thorough
search.

Also post the output of

$ grep "^id:" /etc/inittab

The # and the $ means the system prompt

This is too strange for words....  I thought someone else would handle it, but
this one is very different.  Not reproducible here.
