Yeah, I did. It seems it chooses a new root password in the following way: 1. It assigns "*" to the root password 2. It looks in /etc/passwd.master for another one, if it finds it, it uses that one. In my /etc/passwd.master there is an empty root password and I *think* the regex in pwreset allows for that. That would mean it does not lock the root password, but resets it, as long as the empty password is in /etc/passwd.master Thanks for the thoughts, Jelmer _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
