Has anyone else had a problem with GENESiS losing it's configuration info? After installing AMarquee, and testing it successfully, I rebooted and loaded up GENESiSPrefs to check what the installer had done. Surprisingly the user information was not listed. I assume this was because for some reason I was not logged in as root. Of course, it was impossible to tell which user I was logged in as because I don't bother with passwords. I loaded GENESiS and my usual user info appeared as normal. I saved the preferences, reloaded and it asks me for a root password. I've never used passwords with any account, so I hit return, assuming it should be left blank. "Eh-Oh" rang out my error sound. I couldn't get back in, some mystery password is blocking me. Have a look in AmiTCP:db/passwd and the file is completely blank. Hmm, life's too short for this. I have a back up of the db directory made before running the AMarquee installer so I copy that over the bodged db. Same thing as before. My user information is there but the prefs program doesn't show it or allow me to edit it. SnoopDOS reports fails for inetd.conf, even though the file is in the path searched. I don't understand that at all. Since the file is supposedly identical to the one from a fresh install I get that from the CD, same thing. SnoopDOS doesn't display a search for the passwd file (yes, this is without "Only Show Fails" checked). On a hunch I do a fresh install on a zip disk with a copy of my boot partition on. I can config this fine. Whilst this isn't a problem at the moment, if I ever want to install a new interface or add another user, I'll need to reinstall the stack and create a fresh config. That's not something I wish to make a habit of. Does anyone know what's going on? Does GENESiS store config data somewhere else on the hard drive? There's nothing else in the AmiTCP drawer that looks like a config file. Does anyone know what the mystery password is? I assume this is some sort of anti-cracking measure for when something other than GENESiSPrefs modifies the config files, but how do I unblock it? -- Tom Waddington, Tainted Waters Productions E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________________________ NetConnect mailing list.
