cannot put SCO 5.0.6 in single user mode

UNIX SCO
1

hi

I have SCO 5.0.6 and if I type Ctrl-D, the system will NOT enter single user mode, it goes into multi-user mode.
If I use the init 1 command, I get right back into the cycle ... an I'm at the Ctrl-D prompt again.

Earlier versions required the password at that point to go into single user mode.

How about from multi-user, can you issue the init from a command prompt?

Thx a lot, using the password instead of Ctrl-D seems to work.
