Re: Root Password problem

Grin he doesn't know what he did .. the system is on a video/mouse/keybroard switch box see it was my fault leaving the system login as root in the frist place .. since i am the only person that knows the system .. I didn't think there would have been a problem. hind sight is 20/20 sorry
