We've got a NetApp machine at our site (F330, NetApp Release 4.3.1: Wed Jan 21 02:57:32 PST 1998) that we can't log in to. It's up and running fine, and we can use rsh to run commands (like version or exportfs), but if I try to telnet to the box all the passwords I try don't work.
On the system that's controling that particular server (Digital Unix), the etc directory that's mounted from the filer had no password file in it, and even after copying the passwd file from another NetApp box into the etc directory I'm still unable to get in.
Do I need to reboot the filer, or is there some magic I can perform to set the password? There doesn't appear to be a passwd command, and checking the options command doesn't show anything that looks like it might apply....
rsh -l root your.filers.net.address passwd
I had to do this last week.
The only problem with this is that it assumes you know the current password. That doesn't appear to be the case for the situation above. Without knowing the password, the only way to change it is with the boot floppy.
