I am embarrassed! :-[
Since I had executed sys-unconfig, the root passwd had got reset to
blank password.
Description
The sys-unconfig command is used to restore a system's configuration to
an "as-manufactured" state, ready to be reconfigured again. The system's
configuration consists of hostname, Network Information Service (NIS)
domain name, timezone, IP address, IP subnet mask, and root password.
This operation is the inverse of those performed by the sysidnet(1M)
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/sysidnet-1m?a=view>,
sysidns(1M)
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/sysidns-1m?a=view>, and
sysidsys(1M)
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/sysidsys-1m?a=view> programs
run at boot. See sysidtool(1M)
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/sysidtool-1m?a=view>.
sys-unconfig does the following:
..
...
..
*
Removes the file /etc/defaultrouter.
*
Removes the password set for root in /etc/shadow. <====== Missed
this!!!
Reminded me that I haven't done any meaningful sys admin stuff for too
loooong!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Best Regards,
Madhan Kumar
