<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para><command>sulogin</command> is invoked by <command>init</command> prior
|
|
to allowing the user access to the system when in single user mode.
|
|
This feature may only be available on certain systems where
|
|
<command>init</command> has been modified accordingly, or where the
|
|
<filename>/etc/inittab</filename> has an entry for a single user
|
|
login.
|

</para>

|
|
|
<para>The user is prompted</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
|
|
<!-- .br -->
|
|
(or give root password for system maintenance):
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Input and output will be performed with the standard file
|
|
descriptors unless
|
|
the optional device name argument is provided.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the user enters the correct root password, a login session is
|
|
initiated.
|
|
When <emphasis remap='B'>EOF</emphasis> is pressed instead, the
|
|
system enters multi-user mode.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After the user exits the single-user shell, or presses <emphasis
|
|
remap='B'>EOF</emphasis>, the system begins the initialization process
|
|
required to enter multi-user mode.

<para>
|
|
This command can only be used if <command>init</command> has been
|
|
modified to call <command>sulogin</command> instead of
|
|
<filename>/bin/sh</filename>, or if the user has set the <emphasis
|
|
remap='I'>inittab</emphasis> to support a single user login. For
|
|
example, the line:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<!-- .br -->
|
|
|
|
<para>co:s:respawn:/etc/sulogin /dev/console</para>
|
|
<!-- .br -->
|
|
|
|
<para>should execute the sulogin command in single user mode.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.
