   Urgent Problem -- DG/UX Unable to login

   From: tanveer@nocilindia.com   
      
   Dear Experts,   
      
   We have the Oracle Database running on DG/UX Server.   
      
   Now while working, I have given the command to (tar) /etc/passwd to Digital   
   Audio Tape --- but it has some hardware problem and the console got hanged.   
      
   Later after many Control-C, I could get (#) prompt.   
      
   At that # prompt I gave (exit), which took me to Console Login.   
      
   Now it is not allowing me to login by root or sys or by any other login. I   
   believe the /etc/passwd file is corrupted.   
      
   Please help me to get the (#) prompt, because I have the copy of /etc/passwd   
   in some other directory. I am also unable to login from remote terminal by   
   TELNET or FTP.   
      
   UREGENT PLEASE HELP   
      
   Thanks in advance
