Hi there, We are running a site that had security breakins and the hacker managed to changed the root password and the edited both the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd file and deleted pretty much everything in it. It seems the pwd.db and spwd.db are the original ones since apparently the person didn't use vipw on the DES encrypted system. I was wondering if there was a way to use the pwd.sb and spwd.db even if the encrypted passwd's in master.passwd don't match.... Thanks. Richard
