When you are replacing a server or hard drive, the Communication Manager Maintenance Web
Pages might time out if too much time elapses without activity. In this case, you might not be
able to log in again with the
craft
login. This problem can occur after you install the new server
and restore translation and security files, but
before
you install the new authentication file.
Restoring translation and security files does not restore the
init
and
inads
service accounts, nor
is “sroot” available until the authentication file is installed. However, you
can
log in with the
customer’s super-user login, if it exists.

2. At the Linux command line interface type
cat /etc/passwd |grep 555
and press
Enter

init

logins exist, you must create one (
