Using Netinfo in Single User Mode

Hello

I wanted to create a new user in Netinfo (with the GUI) but instead of creating a new user named "cvsuser" I renamed the folder "users" in "cvsuser" :cool: (I know, it's stupid)...

It is by now impossible to log in... And I am trying to boot in single user mode to change the name of the folder "cvsuser" in "users", but it doesn't work...

I mount the disc, start the Netinfo daemon (with the command netinfod 8) and then try to list the folders with
nicl-list /

So if someone could help me, it would be realy nice :)

I am trying to boot in single user mode to change the name of the folder "cvsuser" in "users", but it doesn't work...

Please tell us exactly what "doesn't work" - e.g. copy down exact text of error messages etc.
Maybe the problem is just that the disk is mounted read-only in single-user mode?
Did you mount it read-write by running the following command?
/sbin/mount -uw /
