if i were u, i would:

obtain a boot disk, boot ur sys up with it, mount the root partition,
`vipw` and put a * for root's passwd.

reboot the machine and supply a passwd for root asap.

 For some time now I have not logged into Linux. Been busy with several
 other stuff. Close to 2 months or more.
 
 Today I booted linux and it won't let me in. I log in as root and give
 it CR at password prompt. Keeps rejecting me.
 
 How do I get around this? I hate to think that I have to re install
 from scratch after all the work I did getting it to where I like it.

hmm... u have a lot of questions do u  :)

well, u have to get a your DNS to recognize your new hostname; u probably
don't have your own DNS, but if u do, just edit the .db or localhost.rev and
add a CNAME of that host to an existing host.

u cannot just make a hostname... contact the ppl who runs the nameserver
of ur domain to get the virtual host recognized.

I am running NetBSD and Apache, and I have a couple virtual hosts under
Ngbert.org.

don't know if this helps or not, coz it seemed like u dunno what u'r doing.

displaying pgp public key and xface in finger info???

1996-11-26 Thread Andrew Y Ng
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

What file do I put my PGP public key in to have it displayed in my
finger info in Debian Linux?

And XFace?

BTW, I do not mean the .plan file, I think there is actually files
that the fingerd would look into for the info... because I got this when I 
finger myself at my Debian linux box:
