Re: Nasty reference loop in login.conf
If remember correctly, accessing single user mode here requires root password, but will it use login.conf? Killing init is not solution (I think I lack privileges as user anyway, remember I can't su account) because I'm running KMS patches and will not see anything (lacking visible system console output). -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Nasty-reference-loop-in-login-conf-tp5727668p5727686.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Initially dropped to single user mode, but when I saw ED(1) I reconsidered and dusted off trusty LiveCD :) Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Nasty-reference-loop-in-login-conf-tp5727668p5727712.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Nasty reference loop in login.conf
Or vi in place. Really, it always surprises me there's no vi available in single user mode. vi 352k, ed 54k. And I bet some historical vi could be smaller still. ...but I have nothing against ed, I simply never memorized how to use it properly. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Nasty-reference-loop-in-login-conf-tp5727668p5727716.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Nasty reference loop in login.conf
That's substantial if, no? But in this case, yes, I should have mounted fs maybe. But really didn't know what to expect.
