You're suggesting that he telnet in as root? Dangerous :) Hopefully, if you've installed an encrypting telnet such as SSLtelnet on both machines, or better yet Secure Shell. Why don't you just boot in single user mode as suggested earlier today by some one on this list by entering "linux single" at the lilo boot prompt. Otherwise, boot using the rescue disk then mount the root file system and then edit whatever you need to disable xdm temporarily. For example, you could temporarily move /etc/init.d/xdm to /etc/init.d/xdm.orig. Afterward, you should be able to reboot without xdm starting up. Make whatever corrections you need to at this point. After the corrections are done move the xdm.orig file back to /etc/init.d/xdm. If you are sure everything is alright, start xdm by issuing the command "/etc/init.d/xdm start," or just reboot. The single user mode option is more preferrable, I believe. -Ossama -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
