Re: Root login

[Jacek Perry <chrobry yahoo com>]

Thank you for the offer, however I am not sure how there can be any
problem with the passwd or group file.  As I can su to root form
single user mode and I also can log in as any other user but root in
normal mode.

I don't worry about passwords because I am the only one here (Makes my
system 100% secure :) )
