Unfortunatley, every file needs to be edited and not just replaced. A co-worker thinks he has gotten it. If not I will post again with more detail. Thanks.

generalissimo, If you are going to reload, that will do the trick, but if not, if you boot into single user mode you can then change the root passwd. boot the system and stop the auto boot by pressing the space bar type in bo pri isl type in hpux -is then change the passwd passwd...

I need to edit a file on about 600 UNIX hosts. I would like to write a shell script to do this, but am not sure how to go about it. Any tips?

Hi. Lost root password for solaris2.6. How do I get into single user mode without having to type in the password?

It seems to have happened when I converted to a trusted system. Now I have to figure out why and how to fix it. It has not happened to any of the other systems.

Yeah, removed those as soon as I got in. Thanks for the input!!

For some reason when I log in as root and su - user it is still asking me for a password. Any ideas why and how to fix this problem?

Thanks for the input. It is a server, running an oracle database. Don't really want to just hard boot it. I started snooping around under a user name and noticed a .rhosts file. called the SA for that box and got in. I should have looked for that first.

Hello. The old SA left taking the root password with him and now noone knows it. I have tried the crack program to try to crack the password, but it did not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance
