accidentally del /etc/group file in RedHat 9
well, there's info written inside /etc/group.
i accidentally remove the entire contents. now i cant remote access the server alridi. i know in linux, there's no undo. pls advise on how to get back the previous settings? i've tried to copy from /etc/group- but it's not working also... |
to give you all a clearer picture :-
i'm using cygwin to remote access to the server. when i launch cygwin, i will need to (ssh "userid" <ENTER> password : "password"). <ENTER> then it will prompt me the next command (-bash-2.05b$) and I will login as administrator by typing (-bash-2.05b$ su - <ENTER> password : "password" <ENTER>). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, after i accidentally del the /etc/group and i cp /etc/group- to create a new /etc/group, here is my results now :- when i launch cygwin, I will get (ssh "userid" <ENTER> password : "password"). <ENTER> then it will prompt me the next command ([userid@homedrive userid]$ ) and I will login as administrator by typing ([userid@homedrive userid]$ su - <ENTER> password : "password" <ENTER>). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the -bash-2.05b$ has disappeared. I can perform su - as usual and login as admin. However, I started to have problems when other server cannot mount to this main server. HELP!! |

The bash 'bash-2.05b$' is the default bash prompt. You don't usually see it because most distros (by default) set it to something more useful, such as the [userid@hostname currentdirectory] you're seeing here. If anything the change in the prompt like this is a sign that things have been fixed up, and not the other way round, since the prompt setting is done in either /etc/profile or .bash_profile.
