Hi managers:
One stupid client was playing with /etc/passwd, suddenly appeared
like this on the line of root...
root:p7maek5FS2i6I:0:1:system PRIVILEGED account:/:/usr/bin
so when he tried to "su -" the answer was "no shell", so I booted
Single user and modified the /ettc/passwd manually and appeared
like this...
root:p7maek5FS2i6I:0:1:system PRIVILEGED account:/:/usr/bin/ksh
the result was the same. Even if I tried to login at the console
as root, the answer was "root login refused on this terminal.".
So I repeated the procedure to change from /usr/bin/ksh to
/bin/sh, the result was the same.
I checked the file permissions on sh and ksh and look normal to me
% ls -l /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 278528 Aug 8 1994 /usr/bin/ksh
-rwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 139264 Aug 8 1994 /usr/bin/sh
my /etc/inittab looks like this
cons:1234:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
my /etc/securettys looks like this
/dev/console
local:0
:0
Do I need to do an extra configuration, or modify something else?
How can users can login to root even if they are not on the
console?
Thanx in advance, I'll appreciate any idea.

Yes, I had /etc/passwd.dir and /etc/passwd.pag, and what I did...
# mkpasswd /etc/passwd
Instead of using "vi /etc/passwd" and then mkpasswd, it's better
to use "vipw".
Thanx to:
