Now it won't boot how do I go edit the file to put it right ? Put it into single user mode by putting in a "-s" at the boot prompt. You will need to mount the filesystems by hand ( mount -u / ; mount /usr ; mount /var ; mount /tmp ) and then you should be able to edit the file. Reboot afterwards to make sure everything gets started OK. David.
