 |
|
Hello, I am on step 8.c of the install guide, and, evidently, the 'passwd' script is not on my machine. When I type 'passwd' at the prompt, I receive:
bash: passwd: command not found
I have tried emerging it, and I had no luck with that, either. I also noticed that some other common commands, such as 'more' were in the same situation. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Thanks! |

Does the actual file itself exist in /bin/passwd?
If so, can you run it by entering the full path to the file?
| Code: | | machine# /bin/passwd |

| Ummm....I feel kinda stupid now....I just assumed /bin/ was in the classpath. /bin/passwd worked. Thanks again! |
