root - password wiped ?? how ??
Eeek,
Just made the mistake of trying a terminal switch whilst running quake2
3.2 beta ( curiousity did indeed kill the cat here <grin>) anyway
resulted in a total lockup. took of 3dfx loop cable and bypassed monitor
no luck :(.
No response on numlock/caps either so i had to reboot.
When it came back up i could not log on as root, password not accepted,
taking a stab i tried again using <blank> password phew sigh of relief
ok, ive restored the root account password but how the hell did it
vanish on me and become blank.
Suspected at first file corruption as i had to reset the pc , but my
normal user account was fine ??? so that doesnt make sense.
I also this morning synched with slink, any connection ????.
Bug or foul play >;0)
Cheers
Damn this OS is addictive !!
