Just got a Next Station Turbo, help with resetting User

Just got a Next Station Turbo from eBay and I need help with resetting User and Password.

Any suggestions?

I know how to reset root password:

As from NeXT-FAQ

http://www.levenez.com/NeXTSTEP/faq.html

6.35 Lost root password

  root, password password, root
 
  The following is a method on how to change the root password on an
  Intel based computer. However if the system is booted over a network
  this won't help.
 
  Boot in single user mode supplying '-s' to the boot prompt. Once the
  system is halted. Start NetInfo by running 'sh /etc/rc'. Now use 'nu
  -m' to change the password and reboot (enterying 'reboot' of course.
  Not pressing the power button! I didn't had to tell this, did I?)

Hope this helps

erm...here is the NeXT hardware version...

Thanks for the help with resetting the password I was able to get logged in.

Now I have a New question about the internet and ethernet with my NeXTstation Turbo.

I would love to get on the internet with my new NeXT system but I having problems setting it up. I have it connected  to ethernet with my Power Mac G4 with Airport that sharing the internet.

The unit Has NeXTStep 3.2, and OmniWeb 2.5.

I did find a program called Simple Network Starter.
I it selected to be a stand alone,
gave it a Hostname of next1
and gave it the IP address of 169.254.68.11 (The G4 is 169.254.68.10)
than looked at other options, and set router to none, Netmask to Automatic, NIS Domain name to None, and Broadcast Address to default, Have the checked the box of Limit ability to read administrative dat to the local network.

Any other ways to get it going?

I appologize for posting a huge thing, but here is the article I wrote for the fist (and sadly, only) NeXT newsletter about this topic.  It's not the most eligant way to do it, but it is quite effective and rather easy...

 

      For those of us using NeXT hardware or software, it is a natural desire to want to network these systems.   NeXT designed their computers to be a part of a network so it feels almost unnatural to have one totally isolated.  This article will provide information on one way to connect to a non-NeXT network and access the internet via a shared connection.  

   I wish to state now that this has worked for my NeXT slabs and should work for you, but no guarantees are made.  Also, to accomplish this task it is expected that you have a basic working knowledge of UNIX as well as editors within UNIX; namely vi or PICO.  A note about the two editors mentioned, both should be part of the BSD substructure of NeXT and should be available to all without additional installations. But of the two vi is the more difficult to use and navigate in than PICO.  For those that are not use to vi, I suggest staying with PICO.  With that said let the configuring begin.

   First, you need to be logged on as #root to make the necessary changes.  Start the Terminal.app and follow along.  First change the working directory to /etc [cd /etc <RETURN>], then open the file hostconfig in an editor [pico hostconfig <RETURN>].  The file hostconfig contains most of  the information needed to have the system up and running on a network with the exception of the DNS server, but that will be addressed later.  With the file open you will notice that there are eight assignable variables: HOSTNAME, INETADDR, ROUTER, IPNETMASK, IPBROADCAST, NETMASTER, YPDOMAIN and TIME.  These variables are what needs to be changed to establish a network connection.  For inputting the data, remember to strictly follow the guidelines listed above, namely that there can be no spaces in any string; e.g. HOSTNAME=this_computer is the only way the system will understand the string.  Any spaces that appear in that string will provide the system with inadequate or false information.  
   
   Now that is covered, lets move on to some inputting.  The first variable that needs to be addressed is HOSTNAME which is the name you wish to assign your computer.  Following that is INETADDR, or your IP number.  Your system will have a fixed IP unless you opt to use a application that allows the computer to obtain its info via DHCP.  Next is ROUTER which, plainly enough, is the IP of the network router.  The fourth variable is IPNETMASK, this is the same as the subnet mask and defines the extent of the network.  The variable IPBROADCAST is another IP number use to define the extent of the local network.  The final three variables, NETMASTER, YPDOMAIN, and TIME are primarily NetInfo related and concern us little and should be set to -NO- unless using these functions.  With these variables assigned hostconfig should be saved in the /etc directory.  All we need do to complete the configuration is add a file to define the DNS server(s) that will be used.

   With all the configurations to the hostconfig file completed the editor needs to be utilized one final time to create a file named resolv.conf.  In this file we will define the DNS server(s) that the system will call on when on the internet.  At the command prompt, start up your editor again [pico resolv.conf <RETURN>] and let's add some text.  The only line that needs to be added here is nameserver 123.123.123.123 [the slue of '123' being where an IP address is entered].  Each entry must be on a separate line and formatted as above.  Once those are in, save the file and reboot.  Upon logging in, your system should have full access to the network and the shared internet connection.  Enjoy!



Here is the text from my hostconfig file:

#
HOSTNAME=zero_cool
INETADDR=192.168.0.100
ROUTER=192.168.0.1
IPNETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPBROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETMASTER=-NO-
YPDOMAIN=-NO-
TIME=-NO-


Here is the text from my resolv.conf file:

nameserver xxx.244.xxx.100
nameserver xxx.149.xxx.130

When I'm running terminal I tried to type
next1> /etc [cd] /etc
hit Enter
it replies by saying
No match.

I logged in as root, so what am I doing wrong?
