Hi, I have a stupid question here. When I setting up NIS on my Linux box, I mistakenly commented out the root entry in the local passwd file. so now I can not do anything whenever root priviledge is required because there is no root in my linux. Do you have any idea how to reinstall root from this case? Thanks, -Haijin -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
