Hi! I've just updated some packages (see below), and since then, I cannot login as root from the text console anymore!
When I try to login, I get this output in /var/log/auth.log: Jan 13 01:19:00 teich login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure The password is correct. I even tried changing the password to something with less then 7 characters which did not make passwd complain. Any ideas about what went wrong? +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= List of installed packages: Jan 13 00:43:57 teich rpm: [RPM] printer-testpages-1.0-29mdk installed Jan 13 00:43:57 teich rpm: [RPM]
