Hi,
I've been running Scientific Linux since the 6.0 days, and single-user mode
have basically behaved how I have expected it those few times I needed it. As
I usually set up my boxes root accounts with passwords disabled, single-user
mode needs to be without root password.
Today, after having upgraded from 6.3, I needed to enter single-user mode at
boot. And I was asked for a password at boot time. Is this change intentional?
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.3 (Carbon)
# rpm -qa | grep -i sl_password_for_singleuser | wc -l
0
# grep SINGLE /etc/sysconfig/init
SINGLE=/sbin/sushell
If this change was intentional, how can I go back to the old behaviour? I
double checked the behaviour with an old VM with SL6.1, and that behaves as
expected.
kind regards,
David Sommerseth
