Hi folks, I from time to time will go to a console and do a rc single to go to single user mode. I have noticed something weird when I go back to rc default tho. On the #1 console, it acts and looks like I am logged out but when I type in the user name root, it acts like it is a command. Same with the password. However, if I just type in a command, it spits that back out too. It doesn't seem to like a login or a command.
It did this a bit ago. I just typed in junk and let it reach the bad login limit and reset the console. It then gave me a login and let me do a legitimate login. It cleared the screen which is what is in .bash_login so I know I am logged in. This is just sort of weird to me. The screen when it gets through starting services looks just like it does when I reboot. I see the last few services at the top then my login prompt at the bottom. Everything looks normal but it's not. What can I check? Is this normal? When I type in rc default should something reset tty1 so that a new login is required? It acts like it is still logged in as root which could be a security problem for some. Just curious really. Dale :-) :-)
