vm_object question/verification

I'm confused (and probably wrong), but does the 'shadow_head' field of the vm_object structure really refer to a list of objects that the object shadows (as mentioned in the comment)? Looking at the vm_object_shadow() function (vm/vm_object.c, line 894 in 4.3), it looks like it's the other way a

Hello there! First, did you edit /etc/passwd or /etc/master.passwd ? passwd does not hold any passwords and serves only for resolving name/uid/fullname references, while master.passwd holds actual passwords. Second, did you run pwd_mkdb(8) after editing that file? This should be enough IMHO. Re

Thank you very much for your help. I could finally create my root account with your guide lines :) I booted into single user mode, added a correct entry into the /etc/master.passwd file, and used pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd before changing the root password. Sorry again for my newbie questio

I'm not sure if you're already doing this but, on the machine being debugged, you must switch to gdb mode by typing 'gdb' at the DDB prompt. Then, after running gdb -k on your debugging box, go back to the machine being debugged and type 's'. If you're already doing this, then it looks like you'
