Hi

i've got a box and i was able to do a boot -s to recover the root passwd.
When i got to the prompt # i've :
-mount -u /
-mount -a

and then when i type passwd nothing happens.
i've notice that /etc/passwd has a simbolic link to /var/etc/passwd and also
/usr/bin/passwd
have a simbolic link to /var/etc/passwd.
I've copy accross a bin passwd file from another unix and put it on
the /var/etc/    , however it still doesn't work.

Any ideas how can i work around this.


regards
