Minnich" X-Sender: rminnich@terra To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: dropping to single user mode on a telnet connection Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Interesting idea passed to me by john degood, who used to work at hp. On hpux, when you drop to single user via a telnet connection, it leaves the connection open. Result: you don't have to mess around in single user via a local keyboard. This would be heaven on a cluster. I am sure it is hard, but it is something to think about.
