Re: [CentOS] xinetd question

xinetd? On a CentOS 5.1 system, xinetd is not installed by default and thus not startable. You should first install xinetd using 'yum -y install xinetd'. Then you can restart xinetd. Where do you need it for ? Regards, Michel van Deventer

make sure that ALL fields are accounted for in the shadow file and there are no line breaks! As a final solution you can try to remove the password of root completely (in runlevel 1), reboot, login as root and change the password again. Regards, Michel van Deventer Regards
