Uhhh, I use it a lot. Run '2' is multi-user no networking, Run '3' is multi-user with networking, Run 'a' start's up some added extras on one machine I admin. It's quite useful for bringing the box online to do some work on it (like re-configuring or upgrading sendmail, xinetd, etc) without having to worry about what daemons didn't die, etc, etc. I don't drop from 3 to 2 often but will boot 2 instead. This use to be the default setup on at least one SysV based o/s and I liked it so much I adopted it on most of my machines. -- Kent Hamilton Play: KentH@HNS.St-Louis.MO.US NIC Handle: KH91 URL: http://www.icon-stl.net/~khamilto/ Blessed Be....
