Hello managers,

I have a 5.1A server, PK1, advfs for all filesets, that has a corrupt
passwd file. Most accounts are fine; root is missing from the file.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing the root account entry in
the passwd file? I suspect that I could boot from the CD, mount the
boot disk, edit the passwd file, and then re-boot, but that's not
something I want to do....

Thanks!
