Hello list!
I have set up a diskless machine with 8.3-stable and i as a user can log
in, but when I try to log in as root it won't work. How to resolv that
issue. I have tried with and without password but the computer said no.
How did it say no? What does the entry for root in /etc/passwd say?
$su
Sorry
root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh

Root has no valid password.
You'll need to go into single-user mode and either give it one or
install sudo and add your regular user to the sudoers file.
No, that's from /etc/passwd which never shows any real password
information. The true password field is in /etc/master.passwd and I'm
not going to ask anyone to show that here. However, the OP should check
it's got a valid looking field value rather than just a '*'
