Thanks, Sunil for the steps, but I have tried that already. When I get to the # prompt in single user mode, I cannot use the passwd command. I get the error;; passwd: error opening database: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged and permissions are as follows; # ls -tld /etc drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 2560 Aug 28 09:16 /etc # ls -tld /etc/pwd.db drw---r-- 1 root wheeel 40960 Aug 28 09:12 /etc/pwd.db I -can- execute vipw and change passwords. It updates all the files master.passwd, spwd.db, passwd, and pwd.db without error. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
