root privileges gone!!

I managed to (don't ask how) set the root login shell to /bin/bash and now I can't change it!! I tried "su -s /bin/sh" but it didn't work. I think it was because /bin/false is not in /etc/shells. Anybody knows how to fix this? Preferably whithout restarting the machine. - Henrik __

RE: Dual Boot Installation

Jim, I would strongly suggest using grub. It should install with the initial install program with redhat. You should be able to select your w2k partition during the configuration. Grub is nice because if it is installed you can manually boot partitions even if they are not configured in grub yet.

Dual Boot Installation

Just wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with installing a Dual-boot Red Hat 7.3/Win2K Pro machine. Main thing I'm concerened with is having the ability to Ghost the machine since there's 2 different partition styles. I'm also assuming that this would allow me to run WINE. Win2K will b

Re: inetd

This brings up a question. When a person telnets to 'localhost' on their machine shouldn't they get port 23 by default? And if you removed 'telnet' from the /etc/services file from port 23 and put it on 24 would that become the NEW default? I changed /etc/services file so that port 23 is no
