hi, Last night when I attempted to change my root password passwd bunked out on me. It crashed and I received the following message on the console:
passwd: Critical error - immediate abort I thought that I could still use my old root password but cannot. I attempted to boot straight into a shell (init=/bin/sh) and manually expire my root password (so that I could change it on the next login) and ended up with the same results. I've also tried deleting the root passwd to see if I could then re-run passwd as root and change my passwd. No luck. I can still log into my system as a normal user but cannot change any users passwords, I get the same error message as above. Is passwd in Woody broken? How can I fix my broken root password without harming my system? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
