Lines: 18 Hi there, somehow my /etc/passwd/file got corrupted and now no one can log in. This is happening on a 3b2-400 running SVR3.1. If anyone can help me how to get around this problem (fast) I would highly appreciate it. I guess what I need to know is how to get into single user mode and ed /etc/passwd and make the necessary changes.
