SCO 5.0.7 server - Message - Root Account is disabled - but allowing entry via daemon.
SCO 5.0.7 server on an HP Proliant ML350G5 with E200 raid controller.

The message on the server during boot says this message in several places. "Root Account Disabled, but allowing entry via deamon"

At this point, there are some hardware issues to work through first. One is that we don't have a working floppy to boot that includes the Raid controller driver, but we also suspect the floppy drive itself is also failed. (Along with other critical systems) Dat Drive, 1 raid drive, Raid Controller battery.

This company that is begging for help now basically left it in the closet and never did any maintenance or ever even changed the tape.


So my question is really 2 fold.

1. Is there anyone out there that has one of these systems that could provide disk images that are preloaded to work with the HP E200 SAS controller for SCO so we can reset the root login?

2. What steps would be needed to reset the root login and correct the Daemon only issue? Any advice would be helpful.

rmtab

rmtab(5nfs)															       rmtab(5nfs)

Name
       rmtab - table of local file systems mounted by remote NFS clients

Description
       The  file  resides  in  the directory and contains a list of all remote hosts that have mounted local file systems using the NFS protocols.
       Whenever a client performs a remote mount, the server machine's mount daemon makes an entry in the  server  machine's  file.   The  command
       instructs the server's mount daemon to remove the entry.  The -b command broadcasts to all servers and informs them that they should remove
       all entries from created by the sender of the broadcast message.  By placing a -b command in tables on NFS servers can be purged of entries
       made  by a crashed client, who, upon rebooting, did not remount the same file systems that it had before the system crashed.  The file is a
       series of lines of the form:
       hostname:directory

       Rather than rewrite the rmtab file on each request, the mount daemon comments out unmounted entries by placing a number	sign  (#)  in  the
       first  character  position of the appropriate line.  The mount daemon rewrites the entire file, without commented out entries, no more fre-
       quently than every 30 minutes.  The frequency depends on the occurrence of requests.

       This table is used only to preserve information between crashes and is read only by when it starts up.  The daemon keeps an in-core  table,
       which it uses to handle requests from programs like and

Restrictions
       Although the table is close to the truth, it may contain erroneous information if NFS client machines fail to execute -a when they reboot.
