Title: HELP, I can't login as root!
Post by: zaurussian on November 13, 2004, 07:16:00 pm

A stupid thing I did: I created .profile to define PATH for the superuser by cut and paste from the image_setup.sh (dev_img-1.5). I accidentally copied the line 'exit 0' to .profile and as a result I can't do an 'su -' anymore. I can't edit the file anymore because the user 'zaurus' is not an owner (root is).

Anyone know of a way to edit or zap the file?

Thanks

Try just useing su. With out the dash.  I am purty sure that whan you dont add the dash that it will go to super user but not look at your .profile.  I might be wrong though.

Thanks, JP. It worked without the dash.
