Hey, everyone. I did a bad thing a few days ago. I changed the root
password on my OpenBSD 3.0 box and forgot what I changed it to. No
big deal I thought. I'll just boot into single user mode and change
it back.
So, I type -s at the BOOT> prompt and everything seems cool. Well I
go to change the passwd and some file systems weren't mounted. I
forgot about this part. So I mounted a few (/usr, /bin, etc.).
I change the password and voila! everyting's peachy, right? Don't
answer yet...
So then I reboot, log into my regular user account and the world is in
harmony. Now I start rebuilding my Windows 2000 box. Well, to
condense this story, as I'm working, the power goes out and shuts down
my Win2k box and my OpenBSD box. I leave the OpenBSD box and start my
rebuild all over again on my Win2k machine. Please bear with me.
Tonight, I power up my OpenBSD machine and I can't su to root. I get
the following output:
su: cannot stat /usr/libexec/auth/login_krb4-or-pwd: Permission Denied
su: /usr/libexec/auth/login_krb4-or-pwd: Path Not Secure
Invalid Script: /usr/libexec/auth/login_krb4-or-pwd
Sorry
Can anyone help me out? What the heck did I do wrong and how, if at
all, can I fix it?
Thanks,
rvb
