Title: Need Help - Problem With Su
Post by: yongyan99 on January 19, 2005, 06:59:47 pm

I have a Zaurus SL-C3000 with the sharp's original rom, it's cool! but now I get problem. When I type 'su' cmd in the terminal, and I get error message 'no valid shadow password'.
It's just like this:

    bash-2.05# su
    su: no valid shadow password
    bash-2.05#

I don't know what can I do, Please help me!

If you are trying to get to root, you're already there (the "#" means you're root). If you are trying to switch to a different user, then try adduser to create one first.

I get message like this:

    bash-2.05# su
    su: no valid shadow password
    bash-2.05# whoami
    zaurus
    bash-2.05#

Sorry about the lag on the answer.

Try the passwd command.
