tty spawning even though rc.local is not finished.

[Hans Deragon]

Greetings.


   I have added on both RHL 7.1 and RHL 9 some code to rc.local that takes a 
long time to execute (I upgrade the RPMs at boot time and the first time the 
system is installed, there are a lot of RPMs to upgrade).

   I found out that even though rc.local is not finished executing, suddenly the 
tty and XFree are started.  It seams that inittab or rc has a timeout somewhere, 
but I could not find any reference about such a timeout anywhere.  Can someone 
provide me clues on how to disable/increase the timeout?  It is imperative that 
the user cannot login on the machine until rc.local is finished.


Best regards,
Hans Deragon
