Complete and utter bunk as related to the OP. Mode 3 is multi-user and networking enabled. Single user mode is not. If the OP ends up in mode 3 or mode 5 instead of single user, try: telinit 1 as root and see what happens. And look very carefully at your /etc/inittab file to see what is going on. -- Kevin J.
