Hi Tony,
Grub takes precedence, for example you may need to boot into runlevel 1
to fix a problem so in this case inittab must be ignored.

I used to set runlevel by making id 3 in /etc/inittab:
id:3:initdefault:
Management said not to use inittab but rather grub.conf. Explains
before why even when
id in inittab was 5, the runlevel would be 3.
But now, in grub.conf there is the 3 (as above) at the end of the
kernel line (5 in inittab) and
it is coming up in level 5 after reboot. So which has precedence,
inittab or grub.conf and
why is it coming up 5?
