That's a pretty easy fix: Reboot the server into single user mode. Once you get to a command prompt, you can do a mount -a to mount everything in your /etc/fstab. Then do a passwd to change the password for root. Do a ^D and it will boot into multi-user mode. -Ben On Tue, Nov 14, 2000 at 11:29:43AM -0700, Ing.
