Help! I hosed my system and did a restore from a backup but when I boot, I get an error no inittab file found. Where can I get a 5.2, 'stock' inittab file not in a rpm so I can use a rescue disk to create this file? Or if possible, could someone please post their's for me? TIA

...( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection ) there's a section on "Physical Protection" that includes requiring a single-user mode password. There's four lines that look something like this: echo "Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab echo "Don't allow any nut to kill the server" perl -npe 's/ca::ctrlaltdel:\/sbin\/shutdown/#ca::ctrlaltdel:\/sbin\/shutdown/' -i /etc/inittab It's been awhile since I've messed with the /etc/initab file, b...

We run a CentOS-5 based hylafax server with external serial modems. We are transitioning to an Asterisk system using IAXmodem running on CentOS-6. On the CentOS-5 system to start the fax modems we added these lines to inittab: # Add fax lines and always ALWAYS run "telinit q" after making a change. fax1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 fax2:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1 On the CentOS-6 host we did this, in accordance with the instructions provided in the various README files and man pages. # s...

Hi, We are having a strange issue. If we run asterisk from /etc/inittab and then connect using asterisk -r, we don't see any logs coming in CLI. However logs are properly reported to /var/log/asterisk/messages and system is working fine. Now, if we run from command line (asterisk -f) and then usie asterisk -r, we properly see logs in CLI. This is bit strange and no...

...get is small and I had enough troubles already, I want to use as little additional software as possible - so that I can change hosters or reinstall my cheapo server quickly. That is why I for example just log to /tmp/pref.txt instead of installing syslog-ng. And that is why I'd like to use /etc/inittab for restarting my Perl daemon. My Perl daemon runs mostly stable, but approx. once a week it can crash with a May 29 11:06:46 myhost kernel: pref.pl[3113]: segfault at 00007fffa21e6fd8 rip 0000003cce274460 rsp 00007fffa21e6fd0 error 6 Since I'm tired of restarting the server manu...

..., I don't want to install anything else like daemontools etc. - to keep my web-server easily reinstallable (or movable to another hoster). But now I have migrated to CentOS 6.0, added that line and the "init q", but nothing happens - as indeed promised by the comments in the new /etc/inittab. Where should I move my line, which docs to read? The pref.pl is a poll()ing TCP-sockets daemon for a game Thank you Alex

Amazon (or perhaps Amazon's configuration of Xen) forces a machine to come up at run level 4, regardless of what's in /etc/inittab. I've looked through /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc, to determine which (if any script) looks at /proc/cmdline and forces a particular run level, but to no avail. It seems that /sbin/init does the forcing. Can anyone confirm that /sbin/init reads /proc/cmdline to overwrite /etc/inittab? I...

Hi, I've tried to setup a new DomU on Lenny and I'm a little bit confused on which device names I should use for disks and console in the various DomU-kernels? Is it correct that: 2.6.18-xen-kernel from Etch start with no "extra" tty1 in /etc/inittab /dev/sd for disks 2.6.26-xen-kernel from Lenny: start with no "extra" hvc0 in /etc/inittab /dev/xvd for disks pv-ops-kernel from upstream: start with extra="console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0" hvc0 in /etc/inittab /dev/xvd for disks Best Regards, /LM

I noticed in /etc/inittab that it has this line: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) It makes sense, but what if it did get set to 0 or 6? Is there a way to boot to single-user mode anyway to edit the file and change it to a correct value? What if it is set to a negative number or a value > 6? Does it defa...

faxguy, maybe you can tell me why As I've noted in previous posts I'm evaluating HylaFax with IAXModem. When I run iaxmodem and faxgetty through a console the modem works 100% I have yet to find a fax that it won't tie up with. When I run IAXmodem and faxgetty in initttab, the modem is extremely slow to respond and only actually does anything about half the time, the rest of the time

The following patch allows OpenSSH 2.2.0-p1 to be started (and managed) from /etc/inittab (by "init") on systems which support that. This is useful when you *really* want SSHD to always run since it will be automatically restarted by "init" if it dies (and if "init" dies the the systems dies :-). I use a line (in /etc/inittab) like this on Solaris systems:...

hi all, on centos 5 - I could trim the number of mingetty's running by editing /etc/inittab on centos 6 there are none in the /etc/inittab file but it reverences /etc/init/tty.conf. I dont see in there how to control how many mingetty's get started. Where is that? THanks, Jerry

...a bit does a clean shutdown. All this without installing ANYTHING extra. one of the UPSes I'm using is a tripplite (now on 6.4 x86_64, but formerly on the same machine with 5.9 i686), the other is a CyberPower UPS on a different 5.9 machine. question #1: in 5.9 there are two entries in /etc/inittab, one for power fail and the other for power restoration. The default setting for the powerfail entry has it doing a shutdown in 2 minutes. So, I need to tweak it a bit: that UPS powers two computers, the Centos 5.9 box and a Windows XP box. A little googling showed me how to use Samba tools to tel...
