Hi gurus.
I have a 220R running Solaris 8 that is behaving really weird. Basically when it comes up normally, it says "missing or bad passwd entry for <root>'. So I boot from cdrom into single-user mode. I have to run fsck. Mount the volume. There is no passwd file. So I copy one from a near identical machine and edit the file to make sure it matches the shadow file. Fine. fsck the other volumes. fsck finishes. I do it a few more times for paranoia's sake, especially /. It comes back clean. So I reboot. The cycle repeats. I can't log in as root since there is no root user. Any ideas on what to do, short of rebuilding the box? Any help is greatly appreciated!
