Bad for to reply to your own posts, but it's the /etc/inittab. Drat I
thought that was updated automagically when you entered the rc-update,
but it appears not.

Sometimes I spend hours on problems and find it's the obvious stuff ....

Just as well no-one replied yet - I'd be embarassed.

Enjoy the weekend, people.

eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
