If what you say is correct it almost sounds like a Solaris admin reconfigured things to act like Solaris. :-) Although IIRC run level 5 in Solaris is reboot and 6 is shutdown. The following comments are included in the stock RHL /etc/inittab file: Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) HTH, -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting ....
