similar to: RHEL 6 /etc/inittab misconfigured

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 default to a valid value.

We have several suse 10.3 guests running in paravirtualization, however all the guests boot with the following messages: Loading keymap Couldnt open /dev/tty1 Loading /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz failed Loading compose table latin1.add failed Start Unicode mode Couldnt open /dev/tty1 Couldnt open /dev/tty2 Couldnt open /dev/tty3 Couldnt open /dev/tty4 Couldnt open

I did installation of CentOS5.5 in text mode and made changes at the following places in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf : section "device" identifier : "vesa" driver:"vesa" section "screen" device:"vesa" Also in the file /etc/inittab I changed id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault so that I can boot linux in graphical mode. I had to make the changes

Hello fellow CentOS sysadmins, I run a small multiplayer card game with around 500 users at peak times. The client is in Flash and the server is in Perl. The Perl server binds to port 8080, i.e. only 1 instance of it can be started (important detail). The Perl server poll()s TCP-sockets and forks only once - at the startup by calling this method: sub daemonize { die "Can not

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

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 not able to solve this

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

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:
