Looks good. I must admit I'm a bit stumped. First, re-install the system. Untar everything you have installed, with the exception of etcXY.tgz, in the root. If that doesn't work, inspect /etc/passwd manually (for instance, with vipw). Do the same for the other passwd-type files. Run $ sudo pwd_mkdb -c /etc/master.passwd $ sudo pwd_mkdb -c /etc/master.passwd Additionally, try to su and sudo to another account - create one, if necessary. Report back on your findings. Post /etc/passwd, /etc/login.conf and /etc/sudoers. If it still doesn't work, try $ sudo passwd root Password: Changing local password for root. New password: Retype new password: $ su Password: Sorry $ ktrace su Password: Sorry $ kdump | mail -s 'Re: su on 3.8 soekris' [email protected] At least it'll show you if some file cannot be read, or somesuch. Please note that the above will send the password in question to the mailing list. Good luck. I must admit I'm stumped, though I'm too new to OpenBSD to know all the gotchas... Joachim
