[cobalt-developers] Re: Adduser/Passwd Locked/Newbie

["Colm Brazel" <cbweb@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a raq3 recently hacked  to which an unhack script has been applied.

However, at present I get the message 'cannot create [directory], directory
$homedir already exists' or 'passwd' file is locked.
Also cannot change my own root password on the server using GUI or ssh. Have
tried the following from root
chmod a+rwx /etc/passwd to give read/write/execute permissions on the passwd
file, but get message 'operation not permitted'
I am getting great help on this from another raq owner who has supplied an
unhack script and remembers and is looking for
a cobalt GUI/Adduser script that may fix this.

I would be very grateful for any help on this from anyone already familiar
with this problem.


Thank you.


Colm
