Can't you just zlogin as root from the global zone? Then you can run passwd and set up a new root password.
I have to log in as root in order to run zlogin and I can't run : zlogin -l root <zonename> the reply was : Login incorrect So the only option is to run : zlogin -C <zonename> But since I removed the password field of user root on /mypool/root/etc/shadow into : root::6445:::::: when I login to the zone, it says : pam_authtok_get: login: empty password not allowed for root from localhost I wonder why anybody else can zlogin as root with the password taken out, while I can't Regards, Hans _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
