Insert install disk #1 and boot 'linux rescue' fix what you broke, and accept dumbguy pennant #653,478,129 (mine has a MUCH lower number) Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> blaise@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 01/13/05 03:45PM >>> My RH9 system now says that the root account has expired. Maybe it was because I used "date" to reset system time. Maybe it was because I changed the root shell from bash to tcsh. Anyway, now I am in a catch-22 situation of not being able to log in as root to fix a problem that only root can fix. Can anyone offer a remedy?
