.SH NAME
|
|
sulogin \- Single\-user login
|
|
.SH SYNTAX
|
|
\fBsulogin\fR [\fItty\-device\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBsulogin\fR is invoked by \fBinit\fR prior to allowing the user access to
|
|
the system when in single user mode. This feature may only be available on
|
|
certain systems where \fBinit\fR has been modified accordingly, or where the
|
|
\fB/etc/inittab\fR has an entry for a single user login.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The user is prompted
|
|
.IP "" .5i
|
|
Type control\-d to proceed with normal startup,
|
|
.br
|
|
(or give root password for system maintenance):
|
|
.PP
|
|
Input and output will be performed with the standard file descriptors unless
|
|
the optional device name argument is provided.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the user enters the correct root password, a login session is initiated.
|
|
When \fBEOF\fR is pressed instead, the system enters multi\-user mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After the user exits the single\-user shell, or presses \fBEOF\fR,
|
|
the system begins the initialization process required to enter
|
|
multi\-user mode.
|
|
.SH CAVEATS
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command can only be used if \fBinit\fR has been modified to call
|
|
\fBsulogin\fR instead of \fB/bin/sh\fR, or if the user has set the
|
|
\fIinittab\fR to support a single user login. For example, the line
|
|
.br
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
co:s:respawn:/etc/sulogin /dev/console
|
|
.br
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
should execute the sulogin command in single user mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
As complete an environment as possible is created. However, various devices
|
|
may be unmounted or uninitialized and many of the user commands may be
|
|
unavailable or nonfunctional as a result.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
\fI/etc/passwd\fR \- user account information
|

.br
|
|
\fI/etc/shadow\fR \- secure user account information
