Adding "1" to the command line makes it boot in single-user mode (I think I've tested it), like for any distro (the kernel does not handle it, so it passes it to init, which uses it, since it's a number, as runlevel selection). And in single-user mode you *can* remount the root_fs as read-only (in some distros it's kept read-only, IIRC).
And "telinit 1" as root *turns* the system to single user mode (where ssh *does* not run). Btw, why don't you do the check on the host? Real probleems or will to do it properly? -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
