Can you boot up in single-user mode? (By spesifying -s at the boot prompt) You might be able to fix the problem by doing that. I don't know what the impact of your problem is on single-user mode. If it works, mount your disks and run vipw. Hope that helps Pierre P. van Leeuwen pvl@nanoteq.com http://www.nanoteq.co.za -----Original Message----- From: Jivglailh@aol.com [SMTP:Jivglailh@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 1997 2:43 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: no root We have a FreeBSD system insalled and some how user root got deleted, and we can't get logged on to fix the problem.
