Oh. In that case, you can probably boot into single user mode, or my
favorite
of passing "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel, and edit shadow. ;) The live
CD or
whatever is good too.

"sync" is a command that suggests to the OS that it ought to flush its
disk buffers out to the actual disk. A habit I picked up a while ago
was
to do two or three of them in a row before doing something to the
system,
such as rebooting, doing the ol' Stop-A/disconnect disk/go trick on the
Sparc, etc. It's not normally needed, but just something I do for good
measure in certain cirumstances. ;)
