Everything seems to work, except only root is allowed in. In fact, even though there is a root passwd, it doesn't ask for it when I enter root for user name and hit enter. Any attempt to login in as a normal user, goes no where. I also note that when attempting to login as someone else, it always says please wait while system is starting, before returning the login prompt. Looked at the inittab file, but didn't see any problem there, where else should I look? -- Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
