hi all Got the Login working now. The file /bin/login was missing from that computer. i copied it from the other machine. Now all ok.
HERE IS WHAT I DID. I ssh to the machine. When i read through the manual for agetty i found that it uses /bin/login. But when i checked for that file it was missing.I used scp to tranfer it the machine. thank a lot hashir ps: dont know how that file happened to go missing! anyway all working now. --- Hashir <hashipoo3 at yahoo.com> wrote: > > Thank you sir.
