In single user mode, only *person* can login, and that is at the actual terminal. Depending on the situation, for example. My firewall is at the other side of the house, without a keyboard/monitor. Since the box doesn't have any other logged in users, I normally build world in multi user mode. Doing so is taking a chance with the success of the build world, but like I said, it depends on the situation...
