Been there, done that, doesn't work. ;(

Now to make it even a bigger hassle, the admin interface is dead. No GUI
whatsoever. Can't restart apache without being root. Can't be root because
it won't let me su. Hmmmm.... can you say Catch 22?

I need single user mode or it's back to the old Restore CD. Does anyone know
how to get a Raq 2 into single user mode?
