greetings. system is an install of sl6.3 i386 from a livedvd.
during attempt to create another 'livedvd 2 usb', i have run into an interesting problem after getting knocked out of grub booting. long story to short, booted 6.3 livecd installation. mount /dev/sdb2 -t ext4 /media/livedvd cd /media/livedvd/etc removed passwords from '/etc/shadow', cd /boot/grub modified '/boot/grub/grub.conf' to include 'livedvd' @ hd1,1. ran; grub-install /dev/sda then rebooted system. now, i can boot into livedvd installation, but i can not restore passwords. attempts where made from level 5, down to level 1. all failed with error message; passwd: Authentication token manipulation error. so how do i go about setting passwords back? tia. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates.
