This feature may only be available on certain systems where +\fBinit\fR +has been modified accordingly, or where the +/etc/inittab +has an entry for a single user login\&. +.PP +The user is prompted +.PP +Type control\-d to proceed with normal startup, +(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 +\fIEOF\fR +is pressed instead, the system enters multi\-user mode\&. +.PP +After the user exits the single\-user shell, or presses +\fIEOF\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 +/bin/sh, or if the user has set the +\fIinittab\fR +to support a single user login\&. For example, the line: +.PP +co:s:respawn:/etc/sulogin /dev/console +.PP +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 "CONFIGURATION" +.PP +The following configuration variables in +/etc/login\&.defs +change the behavior of this tool: +.PP +\fBENV_HZ\fR (string) +.RS 4 +If set, it will be used to define the HZ environment variable when a user login\&. The value must be preceded by +\fIHZ=\fR\&. A common value on Linux is +\fIHZ=100\fR\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBENV_TZ\fR (string) +.RS 4 +If set, it will be used to define the TZ environment variable when a user login\&. The value can be the name of a timezone preceded by +\fITZ=\fR +(for example +\fITZ=CST6CDT\fR), or the full path to the file containing the timezone specification (for example +/etc/tzname)\&. +.sp +If a full path is specified but the file does not exist or cannot be read, the default is to use +\fITZ=CST6CDT\fR\&. +.RE +.SH "FILES" +.PP +/etc/passwd +.RS 4 +User account information\&. +.RE +.PP +/etc/shadow +.RS 4 +Secure user account information\&. +.RE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBlogin\fR(1), +\fBsh\fR(1), +\fBinit\fR(8)\&. -- cgit v1.2.3
