Fully mount (readonly) your system under, say, /mnt/sysmount find /mnt -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l BOOBY I've done that (but from the running system) on two nahant boxes and one FC3 and get no hits except the log (I used sudo). I urge a CD in your case because I don't trust your system. The INIT line probably reflects an update to /etc/inittab being effected. I don't think it's harmless. -- Cheers John
