Sorry. It's way too long, I cannot type by hand. There is no connection or USB that can send data out either at this time.
I'll post more later
Thanks,

Hi, Jlliagre,
I went to next door and grabbed their x86 machine with Solaris8 for comparison study. Here are what I found:
Sun X86 Solaris 8 machine -
Sun UltraSparc10 Solaris 10 machine -
I read Oracal document and it says that group "0" is reserved for root. But the Solaris 10 assigns group "1" to root. I just don't know if these differences are significant here. Should I make the Solaris 10 the same as in Solaris 8? Or these are the typical setup difference exist between Solaris8 and Solaris10.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi, Jlliagre,
I think I find the problem.
I boot it into single user mode and mount filesystem to /a.
I went to next door again today and grabbed their x86 machine with Solaris8 for comparison study. Here are what I found:
Sun X86 Solaris 8 machine -
Sun UltraSparc10 Solaris 10 machine -
On this Sun Ultra10, the 1st row is blank.
The root starts from the 2nd row.
The Sun x86 Solaris 8 has root starting on the 1st row.
I didn't know if this was significant. But I went ahead and deleted this 1st blank row anyway. Once umount /a and reboot the system, I can login using username root without password!!!
WoW!!!
The blank 1st row in the shadow file caused all these trouble. THe vi or grep commands couldn't see this blank 1st row easily. One of the previous owners must have attempted with it. Or I accidently created this blank row, maybe. I checked the copy of the original shadow file. It had its 1st row empty!
Thank you Jlliagre for sticking with me for all those times. Thanks for everyone on this forum for replied my posts.
