Re: Login accounts don't work after update to 7.1
Bert-Jan i...@bert-jan.com writes: Hi Folks, I just updated one of my servers from 7.0-RC1 to 7.1-RELEASE. During the first freebsd-update install, before rebooting, I was surprised to find that it was going to change my /etc/passwd (deleting all my accounts, keeping only the built-in accounts) and /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db. I was quite suspicious so I made copies of them. freebsd-update should merge master.passwd, and re-generate all of those files from there. What did you do with master.passwd? I didn't do anything with it. I didn't know about it (linux experience talking here, only been using freebsd for a year or so). Now that I'm looking at it all the accounts are there, so it was successfully merged indeed. Note that backup copies of master.passwd are kept in /var/backup. None of the other files, because they're generated from there. After rebooting the machine came back online perfectly. I checked /etc/passwd but there were no changes yet. Then, as the docs says, I ran freebsd-update install again and it took quite a while. *Then* my /etc/passwd was changed, so I replaced it with the spare copy I made. Of That spare copy doesn't help at all; /etc/passwd is only there as a convenience to users, and isn't consulted by the system for anything. I noticed, but after logging out as root unfortunately. course I had to test it now so I exitted from root back to my own account, and you guessed it: I can't su anymore: $ su - su: who are you? I started up a second session and found my own account doesn't work anymore either. So all I have now is an open session with my own account. I should probably also have copied the two db files back and of course I should have left my running root session open and started another one. Not a very bright moment.. Does the root account itself have a password? If you installed a generic password file, it may be unprotected, and you could log in (but not su, as that requires you first be logged in as a wheel user, of which you may have none left) as root without a password if you have a local terminal (a serial console, for example), and fix things from there. Yes, root has a password. The account I was still logged in with is a wheel user but trying a second session showed I couldn't login with that account anymore either. I really made a mess of it :) Is there a way I can recover the server from this ? Of course I can put in a cd and change some passwords, but the server is in a datacenter and I don't really have the time to go there and fix it. I'm looking for a remote solution. I guess you don't have any out-of-band access to the machine, then. You may be stuck with having to go to it physically, then. Yes, I have been there the day before yesterday, the same day I screwed it up. I logged in as root and didn't even get a password prompt. It was obviously reset to the default password database. I fixed the logins by copying the backups I made of /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db back. Everything returned to normal. It reminded me that freebsd-update had told me it wanted to change things in both those files, but since they're binary it didn't show me a diff. My error thus was that I logged out as root before restoring those. Very nasty, having to drive to the datacenter (about 100km from my home) just to copy two files. But now I know for sure this won't happen to me again :) I do find it strange though, that freebsd-update replaced those files, even though it tells you it's going to change them. What is the proper way to handle this ? Can I run a command after the update finishes that regenerates the account databases from the master.passwd ? I checked the history and *I* never touched it during the update, so it was merged like it should. It's probably not much help but there's one jail running on it that's still working fine. I can login and su on that one, but I don't know if I can use it to repair the main system. I sure hope that won't help. That would defeat the point of jails, wouldn't it? ;-) Yes indeed ;) Thanks for the explanations. I still have a lot to learn of freebsd, having been a Slackware Linux user for about 7 years, I've started my first freebsd server about a year ago. So far I like it very much. Keeping the whole system updated with freebsd-update and the whole ports system is just a breeze.

[redirected from freebsd-i386 to freebsd-questions] Daniel Schleig [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just installed FreeBSD via ftp site and the installation was succesful. Now, when I boot up the computer, the system prompts me for a login/password to 'myhome.westell.com.' I have a westell 327 router that I use to connect to the internet for verizon.

Is there a way I can change this or something I can do to set a login/password? FreeBSD does not know anything about your router or the password you chose there. It just uses 'westell.com' as domain name because your router's dhcp server told it to. There is probably a configuration option on your router that lets you specify a different domain name. If you did not create a user during installation, simply log in as root and create a user for yourself. If you weren't asked for a root password during installation, just press enter at the password prompt, and immediately set a root password with 'passwd root'.

During installation, you were prompted for a password for the root user. This is regardless of whether you chose to add a normal user. Login in as 'root' and supply the password when prompted. If you don't recall setting a password, try hitting [enter] and see if it lets you in without one. Note Well: If you did not set a password for root, you need to do so.

Re: login/password
Thanks that worked, But now I have another question, When it boots I enter my user name and password but all I get is a command prompt, how am I supposed to get into free bsd (or is that it?) Well, it doesn't look like much at the command prompt, but yes, that's it. The wonderful world of the power of BSD is now at your fingertips. If you are looking for a fancy GUI interface that can sit on top of the command prompt, start by reading the handbook...here is the section you want: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html If you are not familiar with unix basics, there are several books out there, and thousands of online tutorials. Google is your friend. I don't know your familiarity level, but the one most helpful command will be 'man'. the man command will allow you to view usage information on various commands. In essence typing something like: # man passwd will open the manual page for the passwd program. Most all commands have corresponding manual pages that can be accessed in this manner. For more information on the 'man' command, type: # man man Well, I hope this gives you a start. Note the entire handbook for FreeBSD can always be accessed from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ and it is certainly worth a read, a second read, then as a reference manual.

RE: login ID and Password Problems
Flem I understand your frustration. But your post is poorly written when it comes to describing your problem. It almost sounds like you have never used an Unix like operating system before. For your info, during the install process you are asked to enter the password to be used for the root account. 'root' is the master/god like powered account used to configure the operating system. That's the account you should be using to gain access to you newly installed system the first time. When the system finishes booting there is the login prompt, you should respond with the word root and for the password try purdue112 or whatever password you entered during the install. Why don't you repost and this time explain to the readers how you got this GIVEN LOGIN: koolfd PASSWORD: fdwill4u2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PWD: purdue112 It would go along way to understanding just how much of an newbe you are.

Even through the Christmas holidays I've been busy with FreeBSD v5.1 and at the current moment this problem still persists. This login/password business really sucks. More than 80 hours at this installation has produced nothing but a headache. The current prompt reading at the console shows the characteristics: Dec 28 23:51:41 K7502000PRO.cfl.rr.com login: 5 LOGIN FAILURES ON ttyv0 GIVEN LOGIN: koolfd PASSWORD: fdwill4u2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PWD: purdue112 After all this time spent at this installation, I am beginning to have second thoughts about this software. When I reboot the system it goes right into the program and pauses at the six options screen, where I would normally type in the correct digit to continue the boot process. All hell breaks loose right at the login prompt. Moreover, when I go into the program to change the settings, it says that the item has not be initialized, i.e., it will not allow any changes to the password, etc. I have never, ever, spent as much time as this with an install. What's up? I made a purchase at CompUSA a fews days ago and saw a copy of this program on the shelf..$59.95. Why should it buy this product off the shelf, only to be confronted with the current (login) problem? If you have a solution to this login problem, I will continue the process of getting it to work. However, the clock on the wall says time is running out. Furthermore, I really don't know what the program looks like. Until it is configured correctly and booting, I have the faintest idea what it looks like. Originally, I thought the real problem was with the four HDDs attached to the system. With that many drives attached, it posed a problem for me because I could hardly identify the correct one for the install. With your disk id scheme, I decided to unplug three of the drives and use a single one, which proved to be less confusing. As a new user of this system, it has been a tremendous undertaking working with this program. Everything is new and different, as opposed to MS-DOS/Windows. Nevertheless, as a new comer, I find the program very interesting. I would appreciate any suggestions in resolving this login/password problem Thanks in advance Regards, Flem D.

A copy of the output from dmesg (then again, if you can't login, I guess you can't do that either). Anyways - when you are promted for the root password on install, please make certain that your caps key isnt on etc. Unix IS case sensitive.

(Often started via /etc/ttys) You can even login as 'root' the privileged user this way but it is highly discouraged -- it is considered insecure and also you can end up with a lot of junk in your root disk partition.

(The recommended way, if I remember correctly, is to put in rc.local.) I have seen a persuasive case made (but can neither quote or reconstruct it ex tempore) that the /etc/ttys method is both philospohically wrong and likely to bring greater grief if something snafus.

Try to connect with an ordinary user-account. If you need root access, use an account in the wheel-group, and then su to root after you're connected.

Re: Login failure
Hi, In order to make the user able to use mtools, access to A: that is, I put a line in fstab like: /dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw wheel noauto this made it. As user I could use the floppystation with mtools. But starting the machine today failed. Here is what it says: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-3 (No status) msdos: /dev/fd0: Input/output error Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Hitting return I'll get a prompt like: # Doing a ls shows me I am in the / I can cd to /etc I can do a less fstab I can open fstab in vi But I can't save in vi I think I shouldn't have putting in the line with msdos in the fstab but I'm not able to take it away. I hope for any suggestions here Regards, Thomas I am not sure, but i think mount /dev/adXsY / will mount the drive R/W, so that you can edit /etc/fstab (test with mount if it is mounted). Also you could use the Live-CD-ROM (disk 2) with the Fixit-Console, then do fsck and/or mount /dev/adXsY /mnt. You do have the 2nd disk, don't you? ;) That will render you workstation bootable, I can not help you with the floppy though, sorry. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

That did it! mount /dev/ad0s1a and I could read and write the fstab. Then I typed exit and the machine started up instantly. The only problem I experienced was that my swedish keyboard never was loaded, so I had to experiment a little to find out where / : and so on were. These are commands in vi.
