I'm relatively new to Linux and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I ran into a huge problem last night though, after installing Apache Tomcat 4.0.4. During installation, a user account, "tomcat4" was created. Tomcat can only run under this account for security purposes. Fine, ok, it ran fine. In a couple of hours I shut Tomcat down and logged off. And now I cannot log into the system as myself or even as root! I only see some action when I try to login as tomcat4. If I try to go to KDE, the screen flickers and it looks as if x-server gets restarted, and if I login into failsafe mode, I see a screen with one shell window, but unfortunately the system won't even let me type in the window. My guess is that the password file got corrupted somehow and/or tomcat4 user pushed all users out. I haven't been around UNIX since my college days, but what every happened to root rights :)? Is there a way to interrupt and go into some sort of black screen mode during bootup & login as root? I appreciate any input before I have to reinstall the entire server. Thanks. Mark.
