Unable to login

Hi,

I am doing Active Directory(Win 2008) and UNIX(Solaris 10) integration.

I was unable to create home directory for the Active Directory users on the first login.
So i added
other session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022
to pam.conf in /etc/pam.conf. But now I am unable to login to the solaris machine even using root.

Kindly help me in this as I am unable to do anything without loging in..Smilie

Hi,

I think that you must boot on single user with the Solaris DVD or if you have a jumpstart do a boot net -s.
After you mount the disk and do a rollback of your modification.

Hi chris,

I didnt get any reply for this at the initial stage, so what I did was I installed a new Solaris OS in my Virtual Machine and installed pam_mkhomedir package.

See my another post which shows my current situation.
Package needs to be installed for using pam_mkhomedir.so?

And kindly help me in resolving this..

Thanks Chris
