Hi again, stupid me! I forgot to say how to do it:
o boot from rescue disk o login as root without password o mount your root-partition (e.g. 'mount /dev/hda2 /mnt') o call ae to edit passwd file on root partition (e.g. 'ae /etc/passwd' Regards, Andree Note: Do not normally use a normal editor to edit passwd or group. Use vipw and vigr, respectively. This makes sure that the file doesn't get corrupted. -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburg www: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
