I'm trying to boot to single-user mode to reset the root password. I
entered "e" on boot up to edit the kernel line in Grub and added "single' to the

I just installed a fiber gigabit card in my RH 7.2 box, configured it,
and then was attempting to reboot the box. The box came back up as far
as saying that it was "telling init to boot into single user mode".

I believe you are talking about GRUB
Well on the boot menu, you press "e" key to edit the entry, then you move
down on the long line with kernel, press "e" key again, and at the end of
the line you add the word "single".
The press Enter, and "b" to boot the entry.

Roger,
Assuming you meant gruB and you want to have the choice whenever you log
in, one option is to edit the /boot/grub.conf file to include a section that
has the word single at the end of the kernel invocation; e.g.
kernel /vmlinuz-xx ro root=/dev/hdxx single

single user mode is normally reserved for root only. A lot of services just
aren't turned on by default. As root, you can just su to the user that you need

There are several reasons it does not come more secure by default.

I was just thinking about something and realized I forgot to include it in

One of the major security flaws with Linux when it comes to physical
access is LILO being terribly insecure about dropping to single-user
mode, etc.
It seems to me an obvious path to take would be

I know that by default, anyone can reboot a Linux box, and type linux 1 at
the lilo prompt in order to get into single user mode. I understand the

There are several ways to go to single user mode.

#init S
#init 1
as the root user will bring a running system to the level. This does not
always work gracfully (depends on how well written the kill scripts are)
Another way is to reboot the computer and at the LILO prompt, type
At the boot prompt, i.e. Linux boot:
you type "linux single" without the quotes.
On mine, it stops all of the network and multi-user stuff that Red Hat or
possibly Linux itself
normally sets up.
