Hi all, I've made a boot and root floppies for a ramdisk machine, (ie - not as a rescue disk but to install working linux on ram). My problem is that i can't login to the machine, since no user (including root) is defined. maybe you can help out how to add a user and a passwd to the root file system.
escpecially, why - 1. changing the /etc/passwd file doesn't enable root login 2. changing the /etc/login.defs doesn't enable login 3. using /usr/sbin/useradd doens't really add a username (only uid). 4. /usr/sbin/adduser doesn't work on my /root file system? TIA, Danny. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
