I did actually guess the password for the 'sys' account (it was still set to password 'sys', probably a factory default); but unfortunately the shell for that account seems to have been set to /bin/false. it did ask me to put in a new password (the old one was overdue for a change), and it required that it be at least 6 characters in length and contain 2 numbers. > There has been lots of work lately to get MCA SCSI and MCA ethernet > drivers working under Linux so it might be possible to get linux working > nicely with it. well, Alan Cox has been working on it, at least. > Um, after you've had your way with it...

I don't think it's big enough to make into a wet bar. :) (cf. the 'vaxbar') I wonder if an ATX board could be made to fit well? Carl. -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700
