COMMAND

    kernel

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    RedHat 6.0

PROBLEM

    Darren Reed found following.   When booting into single user  with
    redhat 6.0, it prompt you for the root password (maintenance mode)
    just like  solaris does.   Unlike Solaris,  pressing ^C  drops you
    straight to a "bash#" prompt.

SOLUTION

    One would imagine this has since been fixed...
