Jeff's zingo machine is running Linux. To login, ssh -l root zingo (Note that telnet to zingo and logging in as root, does not work 'cause the telnetd daemon is not installed or started by default.) The password, at least on 3-6-2002, is/was the normal root password. This got changed on 2-28-2003 to the latest root password. The password on 7-12-2003 is global. Again, use ssh, not telnet!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- An interesting note on changing the password, despite the error message, the password got changed. [root@zingo /root]# passwd New UNIX password: <== Th0ms0n typed in here BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word Retype new UNIX password: <== Th0ms0n again typed in passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully and yes indeed, it sure was. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you login, for your own sanity, you probably want to unalias ls else you'll get colors that screw up your aixterm window. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
