wrong command

[David Richards]

As you RHCE'D and you did that! I suggest you reinstall the whole system
again. I personally don't think many people will reply because that is a
really stupid thing to do. Any good sys admin knows never to use root
and this is a good example why. I hope you will learn from your
mistakes!
