I edited out the root password from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/shadow-, and then recopied the newly made etc.lrp to my diskette. (so there were no characters between the "::" after "root", in all 3 files). This worked, and allowed me to boot with no root password. So, first thing, I decided to change the root password to something else. So I issued a "passwd" command, and it said it was successfully changed. However, when I log out, and log back in, root still has no password. I've checked; the floppy is not write-protected. Thoughts, anyone? -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF PGP public key: <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.gpg> Conform or be cast out.
