[mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of martin f krafftSome of them (debian comes to mind) even set up services like mysql to run in *single*user*mode*;not true.
I've seen it. I trust the evidence of my senses. It was an older debian install though.
debian even brings up networking in single user!... which is helpful. alas, there are no daemons listening, so what gives?
The purpose of single user is to be able to bring a machine up in a bare state; 'single user' mode. Its just personal, but networking is a sufficiently complex subsystem that it should not be enabled in single user mode.
I recently had the joy of discovering that when you install the debian watchdog package, it sets it up to run in single user, so if its misconfigured, you have to boot with init=/bin/sh to fix the mess (otherwise you bring it up in single user and it just reboots itself over and over).wrong:
no its something I have seen happen and it wasn't pretty.
This isn't just a bug, its a design flaw!I'd appreciate if you'd either start using your brain or shut up while spouting fud!
Thats pretty rude of you, and pointless too. Did it make you feel better though? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
