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.

!Hello.If You use RH7.2 there is a
file ./autofsck in / directory that will do automaticallyPrevious versions
I think don´t have these file,just put inside the options desiredMaybe
in future you can install this and don´t 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 shallsee!I
have a Linux Server (about 200 miles away) that has crashed and hung
onstartup. I need to enter the root password so I can run fsck
manuallyProblem is, I don't want to give the users the root
password!There is a second root user on the machine, say root2, with
rootequivalence.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 rootpassword for maintenance"
?Like I said, I've probably shot myself in the foot
here!Many many thanks if anybody can help
me!Regards,Greg
