Message-ID: <10769@cisunx.UUCP> Date: 30 Jun 88 22:03:52 GMT Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Sys Lines: 15 I am in charge of setting up our new Sun 386is. I put one up and got it running but need to edit the /etc/hosts, and passwords and clock, but I can't get into the root directory to do so! I tried logging in from the boot screen as "root" with no password, with the domain name as the password, and with the machine name as password. I tried su with no account and with root as the account in all of the above permutations. I have had a call in to Sun for a few days, but we can't hook up, as I am seldom in my office. How the heck to I get into the root to make everything better? Help! -- ..........................................................................
