Re: Help changing modules.conf

I needed a little faster solution. I would like to upgrade to a newer release of Linux, but that will take a while longer. I have modified chandev.conf using sed and can not access our current LPAR. Thanks for the suggestion, Craig -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port

Re: Attempting to get ported tools SSH to talk to a SLES 9 image on z.

On the whole of it, I would tend to agree, Mark. So I double checked things and they looked OK. Just to be clear on where I stood I started over on the z/OS side with the key stuff. I cleaned up /u/{userid}/.ssh - empty. I cleaned up /etc/ssh except for the config files. I cleaned up and

Re: Hosed root shell setting in /etc/passwd

Thanks for the responce Grega. I tried what you suggested, but it does the same thing it does when I try to su with no options. I don't know for sure, but from what I have seen when I try to su, Linux does not let you alter the shell of the root user when logging in. This is what I keep

Re: Hosed root shell setting in /etc/passwd

If you have any other Linux guests you could link to the hosed pack in VM and then mount it on the other image and repair /etc/passwd. Only other thought is to try punching the initrd, kernel image, and parm file again and once in the installer see if there's a shell or rescue option available.

Re: Hosed root shell setting in /etc/passwd

And if things ever get to the point where you don't have a valid shell laying around, IPL the system from (in your case) the tape you used to do the install. Insmod the DASD drivers, mount the root file system, and use the installation system to fix /etc/passwd, or whatever. Mark Post

Can you pass init=1 to the kernel when you IPL it? This would drop you to single user mode, where you could make repairs. On Mon, 13 Feb 2006, Adam Thornton wrote: On Feb 13, 2006, at 2:42 PM, Kyle Smith wrote: If you have any other Linux guests you could link to the hosed pack in VM
