Hi,

Section 10.12 in System Administration only addresses the issue when
the person is on site which is not in my case. Since the default
installation would come with its own /etc/passwd, /etc/group,
/etc/master.passwd, /etc/pwd.db, /etc/spwd.db then I should have been
able to login using the root account that came with the default. True
or not?
