Well, what I noticed is that when I go to single user, I have to type in |
| 44 |
my password again. I would think it would do the same when going the |
| 45 |
other way around. I'll go single user here in a little bit and try that |
| 46 |
"w" command and see what it says. I just thought it weird that it is |
| 47 |
doing this way and was curious whether it is the standard or something |
| 48 |
specific to me. |
