Keywords: ncr tower Message-ID: <1990Oct19.102703.3693@quagga.uucp> Date: 19 Oct 90 10:27:03 GMT Organization: Katatura State Hospital, Windhoek, Namibia Lines: 23 Just in case the previous message did not make it: At the University of Namibia they have an old tower standing in the corner (!) since two years and nobody knows what to do with it. Apparently it belongs (belonged) to an unix user group and they have lost the root password and interest. How do I get access to it? How can get me a floppy which lets me boot in single user mode so I can change /etc/passwd? What else can I do? regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W. Lisse Katatura State Hospital Private Bag 13260 Windhoek
