Look at section 7.2 here
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Shadow-Password-HOWTO-7.html
It appears "passwd -u <username>" may unlock account

is it legitimate and allowed and can be done to make another user account set uid and gid to null 0 to make another root account with different name and possibly not damage the debian system creating and using that new account BenJoBoy Linux - Newbie 12 01-29-2006 10:02 AM
