Hello all! Since I am quite new into Linux, I perhaps have a stupid question... I played with /etc/pam.d/system-auth last week and evidently disabled all authentication methods... su didn't work and system login was impossible. I booted from the RedHat CD and found myself loged in as root without any given password and could repair the system.auth file. My question are: - How is this possible? - How works the described "CD-login" login? - And ... is anyone, armed with a RedHat CD, able to open any Linux system?
