When updating world, section 20.4.5 of the handbook calls for dropping to single user mode. The reasons given for this make sense. But this is a problem for me: my BSD server does not have a local K/V/M setup connected directly to it; it sits on my network and I connect to it via PuTTy for administration. Is there a way to achieve single-user mode while still being able to connect remotely (via LAN)? (I know that's something of an oximoron, but I needed to ask) And if not, am I losing any serious features/functionality of the update process by _not_ dropping into single user? Thanks, ~John
