I am in charge of setting up our new Sun 386is. I put one up and got it
running but need to edit the /etc/hosts, and passwords and clock, but I can't
get into the root directory to do so!
I tried logging in from the boot screen as "root" with no password, with
the domain name as the password, and with the machine name as password.
I tried su with no account and with root as the account in all of the
above permutations. I have had a call in to Sun for a few days, but we
can't hook up, as I am seldom in my office. How the heck to I get into
the root to make everything better? Help!
