I have a little test lab at home, mainly for learning security and getting 
familiar with various flavors of Unix.

The way it's setup is - an openbsd box is connected to a cable modem, 
running NAT but not a firewall or IDS. Inside the network is another box 
running Solaris/Intel 2.7.

It appears that someone got into the Solaris box and messed it all up. I 
went to login and it said the root password I was trying to enter was 
invalid, so I rebooted and got a bunch of error messages saying most of the 
system accounts were missing, and that root user is missing, etc etc. I 
can't login now to get access to the system, even using boot -s.

So, no worries. It's just a test box anyway; there was nothing valuable on 
the system.

Enough rambling, on to the real questions .......

Can I take this hard disk out, stick it in another system as a second hard 
drive, with Redhat on the first hard drive, mount the messed up disk, and 
be able to read both the Solaris partitions on the disk (fdisk recognizes 
the Solaris partitions as type 82, Linux swap space?), as well as the NTFS 
partitions (it was a dual boot system)? I have Redhat 7.0 and 7.1; would 
either one be able to read both types of partitions?

Is there any caveats or gotchas I should be aware of?

TIA

Paul Greene
