Where would I run the POST command, is this an openboot command? Thanks, RG

I could not log in to my server remotely or on a console, everytime I tried I would get a ld.so.1 malloc error. So I rebooted the server and now it won't come up, I get BAD TRAP cpu0 error and it resyncs it's file and reboots again and again. It's caught in a loop, I am running Solaris 6 on a...

Sounds like a plan, I will give it a shot. Thanks, RG

I did a bonehead thing, I moved /etc to /etc_orig, I did this because I wanted to bring another etc directory from another server. Obviously this failed miserably, now I can't do anything, I can't mv the file back to it's original state and I can't use any utlities that require /etc. Is there...

This worked just like the faq60-1568 said it would, I was able to change the root password and log on to the server as root. The problem I am having now is that once I log on remotely, the server will not allow me to become root. I get password incorrect, it works if I am on console but not...

This is all very helpful, I am going out to our colo today. I will let you know what worked. Thanks again, RG

Does anyone know of a way to change the root password without being su and without reinstalling the OS. My server was either hacked or I changed it on accident. I am running Solaris 2.7, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, RG

I am running Red Hat 7.2 and it uses wu-ftpd. I have edited this wu-ftpd file in /etc/xinetd.d to enable ftp. In the /etc/hosts.allow file I added in.ftpd and the IP addresses I want to allow ftp access. Also in the hosts.deny file I entered ALL: ALL. When I try to ftp localhost i get this...
