I was connected to my fbsd4.2 box via telnet and used chpass to change the password for the root account, and it appeared to save okay. I then went to the bsd box to verify that the I entered the password okay, when I see this message on the screen - /kernel: psminter: out of sync (0028!=0008) Now I cannot logon as root or use su, I am always told the password is incorrect. I have tried both the old and new passwords, on the bsd box and via telnet, no luck. I had a second telnet window open, where I was su'd so I rebooted the server from there. My root account appears to be locked out, what should I do? I cannot start apache or samba. -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc http://www.simradusa.com http://www.simrad.com chip.wiegand@simrad.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
