The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problems Logging Into Linux Box

Asked by ITGLA in Mandrake Linux, Linux Networking, Linux Setup

Tags: , ,

We are running an sftp/ftp server on a Mandrake 8 linux box.  I messed around with the /etc/passwd file and changed the user ID and group ID to 0:0 for just one user, thats all I did.  After that we weren't able to login to machine at all.  I can boot into failsafe mode and run graphic option and it asks for the root password and I enter it in and it works.. and I can get on to the system but I still can't login to ftp or sftp using any of the users.  Also something weird in the GUI mode I can run terminal.. it just opens and closes.  I also noticed something else odd when I boot it up normally it goes to our login prompt which usually then opens to a command line, well when I login as ROOT and use the right password it blinks and goes back to the user prompt, but if I use ROOT and just random passwords it always says incorrect login as with using the right password it doesn't just blinks and goes back to the user login.  I didn't touch anything else in the passwd file at all.  I also copied over the backup of the passwd, shadow, and group files.. any help as soon as possible would be appreciated as it is a company machine.  Thanks!Start Free Trial
