Yesterday I did what has become a pretty standard dselect update and
install. But something went very wrong with yesterday's upgrade. I can
no longer log into my workstation as root, myself or any other user
remotely or at the local console. In fact, at the local console the
login fails without asking for a password.
I'm pretty sure that I should be able to reboot and do something like:
linux init=/bin/sh
or:
linux single
to get root access again, but I would still be at a loss as to how I
could correct the lockout problem.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
m
