I decided last night that due to all my PPP problems, to just go ahead and upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2.5. Everything was as smooth as silk until it got done and said you do not have an rc.conf file and this is decidely irregular or something like that and went on to say your system may act strangely. Well, strangely is not exactly the word. When I rebooted, I get to a login prompt but cannot log in as root, or anybody! Is this whole upgrade hosed? Do I have to start over with a new install and trash all my previous files and setups? Or is there some magic that can get me in so that I can login as root and get my /etc/group file fixed back up? Man am I depressed :-( ........................................ . Bill Beavers, Technology Coordinator . .
