I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE on 586 PC. in few days ago, I tried to install mach4 in this and I met some problems. 1. I can't login with root, including other acccounts. when I do login, the following message show. -- comlab6: /etc/spwd.db : inappropriate type or format... -- actually, I used to login empty passwd with root , but now login daemon asked me to enter root passwd with showing above message. probably, I guess my passwd was broken. but I don't know what is matter? and I want to know the way to recover this problem ! 2. I can't mount CD-ROM( E-IDE type) I want to use CD-ROM. but in 2.1.5-RELEASE don't support my CD-ROM. of course, I read the some CD-ROM( E-IDE type) may not support in FreeBSD. but, I heard some people succeed above with same type CD-ROM. help me. thanks for your replies... e-mail : siyoon@cs.kwangwoon.ac.kr
