I presume it lets you login OK as root with the blank password?

Is there any other reason the USERS table might be read-only, e.g. the
O/S permissions or file attributes?

Something like copying the install files from a CDROM might leave them
read-only, which could cause this problem.

Subject: Problem changing root password

hi All,

When I try to change root user-password from the shell using ANY of
the methods described in the reference manual, it says that the USERS
table is read-only.  My root password is blank and it's giving me
creeps.  There MUST be a way to change the root password.  I am using
the stable recommended release - 5.0.22-community-debug.

Any hints?
