NOT installed by default in Fermi Linux nor in SL.
Up to sites.  Since each site has their own comps.xml then it is always up
to the sites in the end.  The default here is only referring to the

All of these are documented in the SL.releasenotes .
It disables single user mode without requiring the root password.
By default if you select single user mode via the boot loader it just
logs you as root, NO password required.  It is NOT installed by default in
SL.  It is installed by default in Fermi Linux.

allow for afs.
