<0> we run a few linux servers here and my boss says he forgot one of the root p***words
<0> but the machine hasn't been rebooted in 2 years
<0> and doesn't want it to go down
<1> sweet... tornado warnings 2 hours away
<2> "Can anybody tell me where i can obtain open source code for gentoo."
<2> hehe
<3> linux init=/bin/bash (single user), mount -o remount,rw / -- then set p***, then mount -o remount,ro / and reboot.
<0> it's a slick red hat 7 machine
<0> there's a terminal with root on it though
<3> tadaaaaa
<4> nerdX, where should i do that ?
<4> after reboot when lilo starts ?
<3> kroko, when you boot up, boot into single user (init 1). then at the prompt: mount -o remount,rw / && p***wd
<3> then set a new p***.
<3> then: mount -o remount,ro /
<3> you can also change your /etc/inittab to init 3 for multiuser again before you reboot. make sure you do that before you set the mounted volume back to read-only.
<3> i've used slackware for umm.. 8 years? i know it fairly well. ;)
<4> this is my 2nd or 3rd day so it`s a little difference :D
<3> hehe
<3> i love slackware. she shells anyway. i'd use fedora core for webhosting.
<3> hehe.
<4> the inittab will be edited after i reboot ? becaue i cant edit inittab since i dont have root access
<3> kroko, you shouldn't need to be "root" if it's in single-user.
<3> there is no user..
<5> slackware is the bestest!
<1> gentoo is #1
<4> ok i`ll try that
<4> brb
<3> kroko, the only thing is, you have to remount root (/) as read-write before you can save changes..
<0> I use redhat/fedora core mainly and sometimes freebsd
<0> I IRC from a freebsd shell
<0> FreeBSD prime.gushi.org 4.10-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2 #0: Fri Sep 10 21:53:55 EDT 2004 danm@prime.gushi.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PRIME49 i386
<3> just set it back to read-only after you've edited the appropriate parts.
<4> nerdX, so i reboot , when it askes for a username i type : mount -o remount,rw / && p***wd
<4> and after that i`m setting it to ro
<3> kroko, naw..
<3> hehe
<3> let's do this over. :P
<3> you're using lilo boot loader?
<4> yup
<4> i typed linux single
<3> okay. at the lilo prompt: linux single
<4> and 'enter'
<3> yes.
<3> it should boot to the single user bash prompt.
<3> there is no user..
<4> yup , but it asked for a username
<4> and p***word
<3> so forget loggin in
<4> that was the weird thing
<3> huh.
<3> okay, try "linux=/bin/bash" instead of "linux single".
<3> err
<3> linux init=/bin/bash
<4> ok
<4> and that should do the trick ?
<3> that should login as single user but shouldn't be asking user/login.
<4> ok i`ll try that
<3> the only thing is it may have changed over the years.
<4> brb
<3> i haven't needed to do that for a long time. hehe.
<4> i wish i wouldn`t have to do this but i guess it`s a basic thing and i cant setup other stuff without the root p***
<4> brb
<3> i hope they didn't "secure" it more. haha.
<3> it was like slackware 9.1 or something i last had to reset root p***wd.
<3> if that fails, then boot the slackware cd: enter your keyboard stuff.. login as "root".. don't run setup. just try: "mount /dev/hdx /mnt" (where x is the letter corresponding to your disk drive).
<3> then "/mnt/usr/bin/p***wd" and set a new p***.
<4> back
<4> it worked :)
<4> thanks nerdX , linux init=/bin/bash did the trick
<3> wooo!
<3> hehe.
<3> yah, it should. ;)
<3> now don't forget root p***!
<3> hehe
<4> i wont , although i can reset it anytime now so it`s much safer :)
<6> make it 123456 so you remember
<3> hehe
<3> make it 123456 so i can login.
<4> i cant remember a 6 digit number
<4> i`ll stick to 1
<4> ;-)
<3> well, actually, i think slackware /etc/securetty doesn't allow remote root login by default.
<4> i dont have ssh open , and my router is blocking most of incoming ports
<6> no it does
<6> opps wrong channel
<6> sigh
<3> i was gonna say...
<3> all pts/x are commented out by default. hehe.
<4> well , need to hit the road , thanks i`ll be back later
<3> welcome. have fun! :)
<1> kroko: "p1" is a good p***word for root
<3> hah.
<2> i use p38
<2> ;)
<1> heh good one

<3> dlp is awesome.
<3> eats lcd alive.
<3> hehe.
<7> yah
<7> i cant wait
<7> hdready too
<7> woot
<3> insane technology but it was developed by texas intruments in like 1988.
<7> (no, thats right the uk are slow and still havent got hdtv :( )
<3> i was only 8 years old and i knew what dlp was. haha.
<7> im not sure what dlp really is :P
<7> it was the HD ready i wanted
<3> dlp in a quick sense are tiny little mirrors that reflect different shades of coloured light by the angle at which they move.
<3> they're tiny *** little mirrors on tiny *** hinges.
<3> hehe.
<7> heh
<3> and they move so fast you can never tell.
<3> basically each pixel is a mirror.
<3> nerrrrd!
<3> square, that tv has got to be super expensive.
<7> 18hundred gbp
<3> that's actually not bad.
<3> that's only like 3200 usd.
<3> my buddy bought a dlp projector and it cost $5600 cad.
<3> hehe.
<7> yeh
