[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fw: Forgot Zone Root Password, Redirect X inside Zone, Reinstall Zone

[Stefan Müller-Wilken]

Why don't you just copy the password (i.e. the crypted part between the first and the second colon) field from the /etc/shadow line of a known account in your root zone into the /etc/shadow's definition of your standard user account in your problematic zone? That should do the trick...

Cheers
 Stefan

Can't you just zlogin as root from the global zone? Then you can run
passwd and set up a new root password.

I have to log in as root in order to run zlogin

and I can't run : zlogin -l root <zonename>
the reply was : Login incorrect

So the only option is to run : zlogin -C <zonename>

But since I removed the password field of user root on /mypool/root/etc/shadow
into : root::6445::::::

when I login to the zone, it says : pam_authtok_get: login: empty password not allowed for root from localhost

I wonder why anybody else can zlogin as root with the password taken out, while I can't


Regards,

Hans
