Look for the line id:5:initdefault: and change the 5 to a 3. The comments in the file tell you what the various levels do, but basically you only need to know about 1, 3 and 5. 0 and 6 are special and should never be called directly anyway. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
