Hello:
I find that each of these files are zero length. There is a
non-root user logged into the console. I cannot su to root or
rlogin/telnet to the box from another server. Solaris 8, E250 with 6
internal drives, system mirrored using SDS. This is one of serveral
boxes in a workgroup. The way that I keep the passwd/group/shadow files
in sync after changes is to make the changes to one system and then ftp
the three files to each of the other systems (I make a backup copy on
each system first). Obvious that the ftp to this particular box didn't
work as it should (from now on, I'll need to verify that the files were
copied in ok prior to exiting from each box). I can't even halt the
box, so I think the procedure is:
- power off,
- boot from cdrom
- create temporary mount point, call it /mnt
- mount the root parition on system disk to /mnt
- copy the backed up passwd, group and shadow files back in
- halt
- reboot
I'm just wondering if I'll have any problem mounting the root partition
because of SDS. Any input is welcome. I will summarize.
Thanks
Dave
