sys-unconf

techi · 12-19-2007, 11:59 AM

Hello
I've ran the sys-unconf on a solaris 5.8 box when the system restarted and went through the system configuration command. I did not set the root account with a password, I had no problem with the configuration bit, but when I came to the login prompt wonted to login in as root it came up with user account has expired. How do I resolve this issue.

thanks

Boot in single mode

Code:

boot -s

and then use passwd to give root a password:

Code:

passwd root

root account will never expire. of course non root account may have expired.

change the enrty in /etc/default/passwd
