Thanks
Josep,
My
RH7.2 CDs arrived this weekend, too late to help with this particular problem!
but interesting to know for the future.
In
future also I will make our root use the secondary root user, and make the
root password one which is known on each site!
But
for know, looks like I have a long journey :(
but
thanks for the help anyway!
Regards,
Greg.

Subject: Re: root / stuck on boot !
If You use RH7.2 there is a file ./autofsck in / directory that will do automatically
Previous versions I think donīt have these file,just put inside the options desired
Maybe in future you can install this and donīt need any user help.
Take a look at:
http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/trust.html
·This feature is implemented using the /.autofsck file if the root user removes that file during normal operation, the system will offer the choice to check file system consistency at boot time. If /.autofsck is missing and the user elects to force file system consistency checks, the effect will be the same as if the /forcefsck file existed.

Hi all,
Quick question here, might well have shot myself in the foot but we shall
see!
I have a Linux Server (about 200 miles away) that has crashed and hung on
startup. I need to enter the root password so I can run fsck manually
Problem is, I don't want to give the users the root password!
There is a second root user on the machine, say root2, with root
equivalence.
My simple question is, is there any way I can use this second user (root2)
instead of the main root user when the system comes up and says "enter root
password for maintenance" ?
Like I said, I've probably shot myself in the foot here!
Many many thanks if anybody can help me!
Regards,
Greg Conway.
