Login trouble

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I was exploring my /etc/inittab, /etc/group, /etc/init.d/rcS, /etc/rc2.d/* files and so on and messed something up.  Here is what happens.

When I try to log in it says "System boot up in progress."  Then after about 3-5 seconds it says "Login incorrect."  This is with any common user.  I can log in with root even though I still get the "System boot up in progress" message.

Could somebody maybe point me in the right direction of what I might have done?  What could this mean?  I think I will probably end up reinstalling my Debian Woody system to fix this one.

Sorry to trouble the list with my ignorant problems.



Best Regards from Ohio, U.S.A.
