Umm, without checking SL6, are you really changing /etc/inittab which says:

   # inittab is only used by upstart for the default runlevel.
   # ADDING OTHER CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.

and not /etc/sysconfig/init ?

tail -3 /etc/sysconfig/init
# Set to '/sbin/sulogin' to prompt for password on single-user mode
# Set to '/sbin/sushell' otherwise
SINGLE=/sbin/sulogin
