Hello all, My brother-in-law runs his own business, and his IT guy has recently left, leaving no passwords or anything. The entire network is a complete mickey mouse setup which I'm revamping properly for him. There is a single FBSD 5.2.1 box that I have been working on and the problem is this: I can access everything via the root account when in single-user mode, even change the root password. However, when I reboot and try to get into normal mode (using root and the pass I just changed it to), I get pam errors stating incorrect password. I am not at home to get the exact message. My question is, is there any way in single user mode to switch authentication back to the standard master.password file, without having to try to figure out how to change it elsewhere? TIA, Steve
