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.
The password it is looking for is not stored in the password file, so that won't work ;(
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....
The only way to recover is to boot from floppies, and that is one of the 5 items on the menu... Since you are going to do that anyway, you may as well upgrade, since the release you are using is not Y2K compliant.
