Hi, I haev mistakenly changed all of the terminals including console from "secure" to "insecure" in /etc/ttys file. This file can be written only by root. There has already been a problem in "su", i.e. because of not deactivating the Kerberose completely, I can't [and couldn't] do "su" from another account. So I need to access the system by root to edit the ttys file, but I can't access to system by root (becasue console is insecure and su doesn't work!). I tried to edit the file by booting the machine in single user mode, but as it mounts "/" file system as read-only file system, it isn't possible to edit the /etc/ttys. Please let me know how I can get rid of it, if anybody has any idea!
