Hi!
Trying to kill the keyboard, brauki@cityweb.de produced:
Does (Intel)Linux support sun's file system? Any chance to take the disk, mount it on an intel machine and edit /etc/passwd?
Filesystems --> [...] <M> UFS filesystem support (read only) [*] BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support [*] SMD disklabel (Sun partition tables) support
SMD disklabel (Sun partition tables) support Like most systems, SunOS uses its own partition table format, incompatible with all others. Enabling this option allows you to read these partition tables and further mount SunOS disks on your Linux box if you also have configured BSD ufs filesystem support. This is mainly used to carry data from a Sparc under SunOS to your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP drives. If you don't know what all this is about, say N.
UFS filesystem support (read only) BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD and NeXTstep) use a filesystem called UFS. Some System V Unixes can create and mount partitions and diskettes using this filesystem as well. Enabling this option allows you to mount these partitions and diskettes read-only.
Editing seems not possible with 2.0.33 ... maybe it is possible with some patches or in a development kernel.
