We are expereincing the same problem with one of
our raQs ( a raQ2 ) and cannot su to root. All admin functions through the GUI
are working fine and I have tried changing the password through the admin area
as well as using the old paper clip (ala macintosh *cof*) trick to reset the
passwords which were promptly added again through the GUI as per the cobalt
documentation.
This didnt work. The admin passwd will change
to whatever we want, but try as I might, I can't su. I might have init'ed
to single user mode or booted to single user mode normally, but the cobalts
aren't well... normal.
Surely physical access to the machine should allow
you to recover the root passwd. The paperclip simply doesnt work, so what could
it be??
Cheers,
Dylan O'Donnell
