I have already installed fedora linux version 7. I get the following options:-<br><br>Fedora (2.6.22.1-41.fc7)<br>Fedora (2.6.20-2925.13.fc7xen)<br>Fedora (2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen)<br>Fedora(2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)<br><br>Now the thing is that- i had installed LDAP server for users authentication (downloaded from the openldap site). After that for authentication, i had to change one file named nsswitch.conf file . For the first time when i changed this file as per my need, i got the "segmentaion fault" which made the system unbootable. But then i went into the single mode booting from the main menu.<br><br>After that, i changed the nsswitch.conf file (revert back to the original format) and the system was bootable. since i dint have much idea of authentication, i had to revert back each time to nsswitch.conf file and comment one line and check if LDAP server was authenticating the users or not.<br><br>Now after i commented one line in nsswitch.conf file, the system BOOTs but then after the taking the logind : root it does not show the passoword prompt-the reason being that the password file is not being read while the system boots.<br><br>I tried several times to skip, the whole process, from the main menu, but then it does boots in "single mode" too.<br><br>Now, from the fedora's site, i have come to know, that there is way to boot the system in :-<br><br>Rescue Installed System, But then How To do ??<br><br>How can i go into that mode ;- Rescue Installed System Boot??<br><br>Unless i uncomment that line in nsswitch.conf file OF LDAP server, the system will remain un usable as no body can log into the server.<br><br>Please HELP, urgently. Your help would be highly solicited by me, as a newbie FEDORA.<br><br>I am trying since yesterday, night!!!!
