Dear Managers,
I just installed DU 4.0 with C2 security. Due to my
stupidity, the file /etc/auth/files/auth.db was corrupted on one
client and as a result I cannot login as root except in single-user
mode. (I can login to my NIS user account in multi-user mode.)
I rebooted in single-user mode, did a bcheckrc and then logged
in as root. I tried the edauth command, but concluded that I
obviously didn't understand it. It kept telling me there was no entry
for root. I tried convauth, which I thought would convert the ASCII
databases into a new auth.db file (using /tcb/bin/convauth -dp -v),
but it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions as to how I can recover from this?
