Hi,

It seems that in mga1 single user mode just gave a shell without
requiring root password.

I'm not sure when this was added, but in the initscripts changelog, I
see it has come from the big mdvconf patch[1].

Can anyone remember the reason for this (perhaps it was related to tcb
support?) and whether or not we should do the same thing in systemd
which currently (now that I've fixed it) uses whatever SINGLE says in
/etc/sysconfig/init.

Col
