Users can connect from level 2 on, level 3 is default - so to what level do you want to change and why?

Hi Samsung,

In HPUX user can access the system from runlevel 2 and 3

If you start your system in runlavel 1 then user can't access the system.

Hi Samsung,

Users will be disconnected if you switch over to run level 1.

You can use init command to switch over to desired runlevel.
#init runlevel number

Like the others said, you can switch from run level two up to run level 6. Check the man page on init. It says that run levels 5 to 6 are for user defined run levels. You can customize the run levels by adding init scripts in /sbin/init.d and then linking the scripts to /sbin/rcN.d. Where 'N' is a single digit number 5 or 6. You should rc0.d through rc4.d depending on what type of system you have. You can also customize the /etc/inittab file. You should check out the man page on that as well.

So, start with these:

man init
man inittab

Hope this was helpful!
