-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is there any way to access a system if login can't resolve any
hostnames and will not display a login prompt no matter how long
you wait? Besides via the console :-)..... I can't access a machine that I
admin because the DNS servers are down, etc.. I can even wait an hour
there, and it won't show me a prompt.. There is no ssh installed on the
system, which would probably work, although I have it set to use login as
a auth method.. but, is there any other way I can either replace the
resolv.conf on that machine or gain access to a login prompt :)..

Thanks!
