yes the system is now in a fresh state (same as if you do a fresh install) root has no password and all user are gone (the install has overwritten the passwd-file). just log in on a local console with root (you wont need a password)
-----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Jonathan Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29. Juli 2004 09:01 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Major FreeBSD Problem plz help Hello, I messed something up in my FreeBSD-5.2.1 box. I ran sysinstall in root and installed compat4 and some other compatibility base dir thing and it extracted over / i think and now the box wont recognize my logins. I am locked out of my own box. Is there a way to reset what I did so i wont lose any data. My server is colocated at a datacenter and the techs would have to do it. Could you guys possibly explain what needs to be done so i wont lose any data and reset what i did. Any help would be greatly appreciated [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
