Paul: 

What command do you type before shutdown ??? Not sure whether this is fast 
reboot related. 

reboot will automatically do fast reboot unless you say reboot -p 

BTW, if I need to experiment convert from NIS to LDAP, I will use beadm to 
create another be and boot that be and try to convert. If I did something 
wrong, at least I had another be that I can fall back on.

Hi Paul, 

What were the commands you issued prior to shutting down/powering off the 
system? 
Also did you really power off the system or did you do "halt" or "init 5" or 
some other command?

All, 

Trying to convert my b175 system from NIS to LDAP, I think I screwed up big 
time, not really a problem, just fix it later. However, I had to power off the 
system, and it came back with a bunch of services that are pretty much in 
maintenance mode. No problem at all you would think, well it is. 

On the console: 

rebooting...

Bummer! Did I really change that much ? You would think that if your are in 
maintenance mode or single user mode, it would skip all the pam crap, and 
revert to the plain old basic login scheme, like root and the root password ... 

Oh, or did I run into a console-login bug ... 

Lost again ..
