The system is set for PARANOID...I don't believe that a normal user should
log into a locked-down box..I would log into your box as root and change (at
least temp) your security to something more open, and attempt to log on as a
user then. At least you'll prove my point <Grinning>.
I think that the paranoid setting is for a firewall/secure box server, not
the usual user's accounts, so all users might be denied via something other
than login permissions only (like file locking or something)...
BUT...I could be totally wrong too....
Give this a try first. Let me know if I'm right or wrong.
Thanks!!

Subject: [newbie] User can't login
Hi,
I hope that this isn't a FAQ, but I have looked and have not found anything
yet. My problem is that I installed Mandrake 7.1 with the security on
paranoid, and now when I try to login as a user, it just comes back up to
the login again. The only way that I can login is as root. Can anyone tell
me how to fix this?
Thanks,
Fred
