Re: [CentOS] cannot rewrite shadow password file
Dear Michel, Great thank you, this is working now. Will this work after a reboot too? Could you now explain me what was wrong with my SELinux setup?

Re: [CentOS] cannot rewrite shadow password file
Hi, Before I had this problem, I've changed the root password twice, and something went wrong, since I was not able to login as root anymore :( I've started the box with the GRUB option init=/bin/bash, mounted the disk rw and executed the passwd command successfully. I've restarted and could log into the box as root. But then, trying to issue the passwd command again did not work. I am not sure if and how those actions can be related to my problem?!?
