It might be possible to obtain a root login without ever logging in. Reboot the system. If you are using LILO: Choose your kernel. Append " init=3D/bin/sh" and press enter. You should = get a "#" prompt in a while. If you are using GRUB: Press "e", then select de kernels parameters, and press "e" again. Append= " init=3D/bin/sh". Press enter. Press "b" to boot it. Same results. Now, that's pretty much like chrooting to /mnt/gentoo when installing. Ru= n env-update && source /etc/profile. Now emerge pam, change your root password (or remove the hash altogether = from /etc/shadow), etc, etc. Hope it helps. - -- Arturo "Buanzo" Busleiman - Consultor Independiente en Seguridad Informat= ica =BFNo sab=E9s a d=F3nde ir a comer o tomar algo?
