As Dan said, FreeBSD does not have init levels but you can switch to a text console from X-windows Ctrl + Alt + F[1-8] will all take you to a login prompt, Ctrl + Alt + F9 will take you back to X-Windows. Note that X must be running for this to work, otherwise you'll just have text consoles available. The number of consoles is configurable somewhere, I just can't remember where. > > > and the method switching to multi-user-mode from single-user-mode > > instead of rebooting PC To go to single-user do 'shutdown now' as root, It'll ask you for a path to a shell or you can hit enter for /bin/sh > > Exit the single-user shell, and the system will bring itself to > multi-user mode automatically. -- mnavarre@cox.net it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen, once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything practical done again. To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or something like that. - jwz
