I've got a problem caused by another who did:
- He create an user and grant the group (1) to this
- The problem appears as "Permission deined when reboot the Server
Then, I recover by CDrom, change owner to root (pam.conf), login success to Server. However, I can change root's password, even deleting 2 users
I'm struggling as well - at first I thought the 503:bin ownership or permissions on the parent dir would stop him/her, but the user is root, so ...? If it were for extended attributes, the error msg would be different, so ...?
I solved those problem 3 days ago.
The problem was described:
+ The other man created 2 users who owned group root.
+ 2 users was changed owner to be a super user owning everything from root.
+ When reboot, the server was not logging still I used a CDrom and boot in single-mode, repaired some files and restarted.
503, 504 is the number instead of 2 strange users above. So, I write a shell script to find every files which owned by 503,504, compared them with the normal server running sun10 sparc. At the end, I switched back to right user (root, daemon, uucp), right group (root, sys, daemon, uucp ...).
Now, the problem is gone.
