Remember that when you boot in single user mode, no file system mounts are done. So if root's home directory doesn't exist, a single user shell will not be able to find /root/.profile, so it'll read /.profile if it's there. Other than that, you won't see much of a difference. -- Paul Chvostek <paul@it.ca> Operations / Development vox: +1 416 598 0000 IT Canada http://www.it.ca/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
