What are the passwords that come with Minix from PH? I remember that the password for user ast was something close to "watchword", and the password for root started with a 'g'. Can anyone send me these passwords? FYI, I got the Minix 1.3 kit from Prentice-Hall last Spring. It's been sitting on the shelf for a while, and I've recently decided to get it going again. My documentation is in the mail from Massachusetts, but I'de like to start hacking before it arrives (it could take a week or so). Regards, Raymie Stata stata%cello@hplabs.hp.com

Hello ! Password for root is Geheim (G is capital letter). I'm sorry but I don't know the password for ast by heart... Anyway once you are super user (root) you can change any password by editing /etc/passwd Good luck Laurent Julliard (laurent@hpgnd.hp.com)
