=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm sure you're all getting sick of my being so vocal, but here goes anyway. I was messing around as root in KDE and found the KUser application. I tri= ed=20 adding a user (my girlfriend), and when done, nobody could log in. I manag= ed=20 to boot into single user, which logged me in a toor. I had to mount the fi= le=20 systems r/w and finally got my username's password reset, after finding a=20 bunch of format errors in the /etc/master.passwd file. My problem is that= =20 the was no root user listed, just toor and all the others. How can I chang= e=20 this? Also, I've set the console as insecure, so it's going to ask me for = a=20 root password.=20 AHH In frustration, =2D --=20 Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/fuslWxy3JtXvWloRAt6RAKCsnKyApG/0E1Sp8kjWpfxDGoYuRQCgrXA3 afbIJjlJCeqK3AH0SqyVd+w=3D =3DDlRU =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
