I reinstalled my 2.1 debian base last week. When it got to the point where the box reboots then asks me to set a root password, it rejected every password I tried. I tried various combinations of numbers and letters but everything was rejected.
So I rebooted, and then my box logged in root automatically with no password. I changed roots pw and rebooted again. This time it tried to log root in again, but since I had changed the pw from blank to **** the box couldn't log in. Instead it sits at the password prompt. Now if I type in roots password it will log root in. If root then types "exit" it again tries to log root in automatically. Here's the output daylonius:~# exit logout Password: I've tried looking over the init scripts without luck. I'm new to debian so I really don't know where to look to fix this. Can someone help me?
