No root login, no backdoor Message-ID: <DA4p5A.4vs@tigger.jvnc.net> Keywords: help root backdoor Organization: JvNCnet X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #3 (NOV) Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 20:34:21 GMT Lines: 13 Help! I messed up my .xsession file in the /root dir and can't log in! I can't even su 'cuz the only other account is guest. Is there a way to boot into single user with write enabled on /? The -s flag seems to want to mount the root file system as read-only. Thanks much.....
