Dear,
"Is it crazy to propose someone opened /etc/passwd in vi, and saved it
out without noticing this had happened?"
i would like to add, MRTGs were not updated as my collique logged in...
MRTGs
worked fine after that.... again few hours he logge in and then su - but
problem raised.
Then please tell me spelling has changed.... Automatically:( Its is obvious
that
someone has changed it.
Regards,
