Hello all,
sorry for the previous rushed message. So, the problem is
better described as follows:
o login from virtual consoles is OK, both local and NIS accounts
o login from X11 results in "Login incorrect" both for root
(clearly local) and NIS accounts. Passwords have been checked
n times including setting them to something trivial and trying
again.
o Machine is now running 2.0.27 (just in case TM) and it makes
no difference except that the keyboard does not lock-up any
longer under X startup.
o X server is stock XF86_S3 coming in the 3.2-1 package, xbase
is 3.2-1 too (all taken from mirror at ftp.funet.fi).
o No error messages in any of /var/log/{messages,auth.log,
debug,daemon,xdm-errors}.
o System works fine with startx (clearly an authentication
problem).
o libpam was installed but removal made no difference.
Any ideas urgently welcome (including how to get all the way
back to my old 3.1.2...),
Thanks,
Arrigo
