I had one in my "hints and tips" talk from this past summer. It is embedded below. Change your inittab to run this instead of 'sulogin' or a getty: #!/bin/sh # # # Name: /sbin/suloginv (shell script) # console root shell for Linux in a virtual machine # Date: 2000-Sep-16 (Sun) # # CONSOLE="$1" if [ -z "$CONSOLE" ] ; then CONSOLE=/dev/console ; fi PS1=`hostname` #PS1="$PS1 # " PS1="$PS1 \\\$ " export PS1 SHELL=/bin/sh if [ -x /sbin/sh ] ; then SHELL=/sbin/sh ; fi exec $SHELL -i 0<$CONSOLE 1>$CONSOLE 2>$CONSOLE
