You'll probably need to boot into single user mode (err.. if you CAN with a botched /etc/passwd), or (more likely) use a rescue disk. BTW - use "vipw", not "vim"... It will, as the man page says, "set the appropriate locks to prevent file corruption." I seem to recall it also complaining and not saving/quitting if the file got botched up. (eg, it syntax checks it before committing to disk) I could be wrong about that last part, unfortunately... :) In that case, I guess VIM is good enough. Just be CAREFUL! ;) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
