lost root password using (SAM) trusted security

Since the instruction are to delete the u_pwd field, maybe someone already did that and you actually have some other problem? Did someone else already try to remedy the problem? Or are you actually editing root's profile? That wasn't what the suggestion said to do. There is no way to guess what file you are looking at from your post... maybe you have the wrong file entirely. Read "man 4 authcap". It is customary but not requred for u_pwd to be on a separate line, could that be the problem? Other than that, it beats me.

Hi All,
It seems that someone in my organization had changed the root password
on a SCO Openserver 6 box.
Apparently, there are no emergency boot disks. I think they were never
created because there is no floppy drive on the machine. I've tried to
use the Openserver 6 media installations... (2 Replies)

CHICKEN-BUG(1) General Commands Manual CHICKEN-BUG(1) NAME
chicken-bug - generates a bug report from user input SYNOPSIS
chicken-bug [ filename | OPTION ... ] OPTIONS
-help Show usage information. -to-stdout Write bug report to standard output instead of writing it to a file. - Read user input from standard input, even if files are given on the command line. DESCRIPTION
chicken-bug generates a bug report file that collects user-input, optional files and system information obtained from the installed CHICKEN executables and libraries. Non-option arguments given on the command line are inserted into the bug report. If no option is given, or if - has been passed on the command line, then a description of the problem is read from standard input, until EOF (CTRL-D) or a line consisting only of "." (period) is read. The bug report will be written to a file in the current directory, which should be sent to CHICKEN maintainers as it contains various use- ful bits of information that make it easier to classify the problem described. Bug reports should be as detailed as possible. It is also very helpful to include code that reproduces the problem. The more detailed the input and the more thorough the description is, the easier you make it for the CHICKEN developers to help you. BUGS
