Sounds like inittab weirdness - I saw symptoms like this a few times while teaching class when students would do stuff like: id:5:initdefault: # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 <------ l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6 ... When attempting to change their default runlevel. It makes life kinda exciting if things are disabled (K links) in rc3.d but enabled (S links) in rc5.d - runlevel/who -r etc. report one thing, but the services started are those belonging to the other runlevel. It's also worth checking grub.conf incase they've overridden initdefault from the kernel command line. Kind regards, Bryn. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFpQrd6YSQoMYUY94RAmX9AKCS1jCPfc6nGiawlmCbed0Uy/oFOwCePqYZ 0n1dGAgZcJZy4AdwGrG2Uuc= =gM4S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
