Going straight into X-windows...

[colinp]

Here's a funny one I've seen a couple of times now....

On boot up, a couple of RH6.0 systems are going straight into X-windows (Redhat login screen). During the install, the old "don't go into x-windows option" was definitley selected after the Xconfig bit. Also, the initdefault value in /etc/inittab is 3....

You see the command login flash up for a second before it goes into windows.
It looks like the id:3:initdefault: is read from inittab but then is overridden by something in an rc script perhaps..

Any ideas ???

cheers,

Col.

You can change this in linuxconf.

That's f***ed up right there...

/etc/inittab is supposed to be the final arbiter of this...

There isn't a "startx" in rc.local by any chance, is there?

Sorted !!!!!

/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local

had

/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm

at the bottom..

It was being used for remote access through PC-Xware/Exceed type stuff.

I'll see if I can change it to output to display 1 or something...

Thanks for the replies guys...

cheers
