Hi all! Quick Background: First ever install of Linux, never heard of it before a month ago. Successfully performed a basic floppy install on a DigitalPentium 60 by downloading the Debian images. ' went out and bought, "Mastering Linux" by Armand Danesh last Wednesday and installed RH5.1 - Boy was that cake compared to the floppies! My problem is this: I can't log in as anyone other than root. I've created users in X Windows Control Panel - tried "No Password", "Change Password" even tried "Unlock" in case default was "Lock" - I didn't really think so, but you gotta try. I've gone back in and added other users and edited the previous ones, checked their default shell to be /bin/bash. Each user is in its own group, but that shouldn't matter. I tried changes anyway. I'm also conscience of case sensitivity. Not being fond of GUI anyway, I then went to the command line with : useradd <username> I still couldn't log in - Not across the Ethernet so I thought my smb was misconfigured, but it won't even work at the Linux box. When I check, the users are all listed. What am I missing? ' must be something simple. Thanks. Jack
