With all respect Doug, users that have remote machines and do not have access to it to boot single user like the manual says.. what can we do? I understand that step is to be sure that no user will modify something while we are doing those process. In my case I do that step after midnight when our users are not in the server. Can others with remote systems comment about what they do in this step? Thanks in advance Jorge Biquez
