Does anybody else have access to it? What release, what PAM version, etc.? There have been a few bugs along this line in the past. Will it allow root login? That goes back to the first question. If somebody changed it, direct login won't work either. You can reboot and run into single user mode. Then set the password again. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
