Hi,

Just wondering if you can help. The permissions have been changed and
now I can no longer login as root, it comes up and says "login: Could
not determine audit condition".

I am wondering if there is a command to get around this to become root
so I can make the changes to the permissions etc?

This error is returned by the auditon() system call when your kernel
returns ENOSYS (No such system call) for the auditon() call. It looks
like you are running a kernel that does not support auditing but a
/usr/bin/login binary that includes audit(4) related calls.

If you recently rebuild your kernel to remove AUDIT support, you should
install an up to date userland too.
