Well I finally hosed my machine. In an effort to sync up my clock I rebooted the Linux server (after uptime of 40 days) When it boots I get an error to the effect the file system is read only.
This is probably due to the fact that I made an entry in /etc/passwd for a samba user like
WIN2KMACHINENAME$:*1000:900:WIN2KUSERNAME:/dev/null:dev/null
I would occasionally get errors about the /dev/null but thought I would fix it later. Unfortunately, I rebooted and now cannot make changes to the system.
I can log on and telnet in but... cannot change the /etc/passwd
could someone be kind enough to walk me through this?
I know Ill have to boot into rescue mode (cd rom is not bootable) but don't have any experience as what to "fix"
the boot message file in its entirety is at http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/badboot.html
many thanks in advance ( I gotta get this fixed asap)
