SULOGIN(8)                            System Administration                            SULOGIN(8)



NAME
       sulogin - Single-user login

SYNOPSIS
       sulogin [options] [tty]

DESCRIPTION
       sulogin is invoked by init when the system goes into single user mode.

       The user is prompted:

            Give root password for system maintenance
            (or type Control-D for normal startup):

       If the root account is locked and --force is specified, no password is required.

       sulogin  will be connected to the current terminal, or to the optional tty device that can
       be specified on the command line (typically /dev/console).

       After the user exits the single-user shell or presses control-D at the prompt, the  system
       will continue to boot.

OPTIONS
       -e, --force
              If  the default method of obtaining the root password via getpwnam(3) from the sys-
              tem fails, manually examine /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to get  the  password.   If
              these  files  are  damaged or nonexistent, or when root account is locked by '!' or
              '*' at the begin of the password then sulogin will start a root shell without  ask-
              ing for a password.

              Only  use the -e option if you are sure the console is physically protected against
              unauthorized access.

       -p, --login-shell
              Specifying this option causes sulogin to start the shell process as a login shell.

       -t, --timeout seconds
              Specify the maximum amount of time to wait for user  input.   By  default,  sulogin
              will wait forever.

       -h, --help
              Print a help message.

       -V, --version
              Output version.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       sulogin  looks  for the environment variable SUSHELL or sushell to determine what shell to
       start.  If the environment variable is not set, it will try to execute root's  shell  from
       /etc/passwd.  If that fails it will fall back to /bin/sh.
