I know I should probably configure LDAP or NIS instead of copying /etc/passwd around. But before jumping into that, here is the weird thing that I wish somebody could explain:
I replaced the current /etc/passwd file with the one on the server. Both the new and the old /etc/passwd file have "x" in their passwd section, indicating the passwd is actually encrypted and saved in /etc/shadow, which I haven't change at all. That's all I did, and yet somehow I couldn't assume root role any more. How's that possible? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
