</I>>><i> 'Twas brillig, and Richard Couture at 03/06/12 12:27 did gyre and gimble:
</I>>>><i> I notice that when, at the end of the installation of MGA2, I select the
</I>>>><i> level of security as HIGH, that I am permitted entry into the system in
</I>>>><i> Linux Single mode without a challenge password, which is a new, and IMHO
</I>>>><i> undesirable, behavior from previous versions.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Is this a new feature, or have I stumbled upon a bug?

</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> /etc/inittab is no longer used or read.

</I>>><i> For single user mode now-a-days we boot to rescue.target (this is done

</I>
The tools in drak* still let you configure this, so that's the "easy" way.
For real men (and women), we just change the
/etc/systemd/system/default.target symlink to point at whatever target
we want to use by default.
For ad-hoc changes you can pass systemd.unit=foo.target on the kernel
command line or just append a runlevel number or the words "single" or
"failsafe" as before.
Cheers
