/etc/inittab lost

I don't know how, but my /etc/inittab is lost.

Could someone give post his example and tell which permissions have to be to set?

I also lost my inittab some time ago in my arch desktop. This was when I was playing with daemontools package. I tried to uninstall it and then it happend :-) Fortunatelly I had a backup of all /etc files made a day before it happend. I even filled a bug report but it seems that it was my fault somehow because this error could not be reproduced by package maintainer (I suspect I had inittab opened for viewing while removing daemontools package which BTW adds it's own things to inittab and then tries to remove them during uninstall process - but this is just a possibility - I'm not going to try to make this happen again :-)).
This experience teaches how much backup is important

BTW, I don't like doing this because if X crashes init seems to continually respawn kdm processes and you have no way to get to a console. My inittab looks like this:

x:5:once:/opt/kde/bin/kdm

You get to the console after two or three minutes of screen flickering and wondering if the vga card is blowing up. I am glad to change the kdm code. Thanks for the hint.
